13 Sep 2023

Receiving Egyptian workers in Kuwait has been stopped, and this step comes within the framework of reviewing the procedures and organization of Egyptian workers coming to Kuwait. Therefore, the date for opening Kuwait visas for Egyptians in 2023 is not yet known. Those wishing to work in Kuwait will have to wait until new decisions and procedures are announced by the Kuwaiti authorities.
An official at the Kuwait Public Service Authority announced the status of Kuwait visas for Egyptians in 2023 and when they can be expected to open.
This official explained that there is no new information yet regarding opening Kuwaiti visas to Egyptians, and that Kuwait still refrains from receiving Egyptian workers at the present time.
The official indicated that the continued halt in bringing Egyptian workers to Kuwait comes based on the directives of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior.
The official added that the process of opening the door to bringing Egyptian workers to Kuwait will be conditional upon carrying out several reforms in the system of issuing work permits, in addition to organizing the process of selling residency visas through recognized employment agencies in Egypt.
