Employment opportunities in Kuwait, know how to get a working visa

The desert jewel of the Middle East, Kuwait, has once again opened its doors to foreign workers. Ending a long wait, the Kuwaiti government has decided to introduce working visas for temporary government projects. This decision is expected to usher in a new chapter in the country’s economy and employment scenario.

Increase in immigration to Kuwait

Although Kuwait is a small country, a large number of workers from different countries of the world used to come here. Due to the increase in oil prices, the economic development of the country led to the need for a large number of workers in various fields, including infrastructure development, implementation of various projects. As a result, the number of immigrants was increasing day by day.

The influx of large numbers of immigrants increased the population density in Kuwait. As a result of this, the country started experiencing a shortage of facilities like accommodation, healthcare, education etc. The economy is under pressure and domestic employment opportunities are also reduced.

Government decision

To deal with this situation, the Kuwaiti government decided to reduce the rate of immigration in the country. To that end they have suspended all visas. As a result of this decision, the lives of many expatriates were disrupted.

Why is the visa opened again?

The main reason for the suspension of Kuwait visas was the excessive increase in the number of workers in the country. This excess population was putting pressure on the country’s economy and social system. But with time the situation started to change.

In addition, due to the global economy affected by the corona epidemic, the employment rate also decreased in Kuwait. As many expatriate workers returned to the country, the country began to experience a labor shortage.

In particular, temporary government projects face staff shortages. Considering this situation, the government has decided to introduce working visa again.
