IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Kuwaiti authorities have said that in 2018 they will stop issuing new private sector work visas to foreign nationals under 30.
BAL Analysis: The plan reflects the importance Kuwait is placing on filling high-skilled jobs with local workers when possible. The recruitment ban could significantly limit companies’ access to university graduates and other young workers from outside Kuwait.
