Residency Transfer for SME Workers Cut to One Year with Sponsor Approval

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 24: The Public Authority for Manpower announced changes to transfer regulations within the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector. The period required for transferring workers within this sector has been reduced from three years to one year, provided the sponsor approves the transfer.

The sources clarified that allowing transfers from the SME sector to the private sector is not permissible. The adjustment aims to address challenges faced by faltering projects and operational difficulties, enabling better utilization of workers in small and medium enterprises.
