KUWAIT CITY, Feb 12: A number of non-graduates expatriate workers 60 years and above who are covered by Administrative Decision No. 34 of 2022, which allowed them to renew or transfer their work permits within the private sector for one year are taken by surprise, reports Al-Jarida daily. This is because according to the administrative decision they were required to pay 250 dinars to renew their residence permit and 500 dinars for private health insurance.

What is surprising is they are asked to pay the additional 10 dinars (old residence fee) and another 50 dinars (the regular insurance charges) which literally means this category of expatriates end up paying double residence and health insurance fees. These extra charges are in addition to the fees approved by the aforementioned resolution, and the decision of the Supreme Committee for the Insurance Regulatory Unit No. (2/2022).
