Workers must attend in person for final cancelation request
Kuwait:
The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) issued yesterday
ministerial circular no. 1/2022 on final cancelation requests for traveling, or
canceling and transferring to other sectors. “According to this circular, a
final cancelation request for traveling will only be accepted if the employee
attends in person at the work relations department.
The staff at this department will check whether this employee has received their
full indemnities. The staff will also check whether the final cancelation for
traveling or cancelation for transferring to another sector was requested by the
employee,” said Aseel Al-Mazyad, Director of Public Relations and Official
Spokesperson of PAM.
The employee filing the request also has to sign a statement, according to
procedures followed in these cases. “The work departments in charge will
carefully check this statement, and any procedure in conflict with this circular
will be voided,” added Mazyad. Transferring to another sector means changing the
visa type, for instance from article 18 (private sector) to article 20 (domestic
labor), article 22 (dependent), article 17 (public sector) or other articles.
