KUWAIT CITY, Feb 1: The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has launched the service for obtaining part-time work permits through the Sahel platform, reports Al-Seyassah daily.

Following are the conditions and fees for obtaining a part-time work permit:
1. Approval of the original employer,
2. Maximum part-time work is four hours except the contracting sector,
3. Payment of corresponding fees — KD 5 for one month, KD 10 for three months, KD 20 for six months and KD 30 for one year.
On the other hand, citizens are exempted from these conditions and fees. They can apply for part-time work with the approval of the original employer in line with the laws on protecting competitiveness.
