KUWAIT CITY, July 14: The Civil Service Bureau has issued an official circular confirming the completion of employment procedures for women whose Kuwaiti nationality was revoked under Article 8. The circular states that these women are entitled to the same job and financial benefits as Kuwaiti female employees working in government institutions, under the applicable laws and regulations.
This policy applies specifically to:
- Women whose nationalities were withdrawn under Article 8
- Those registered in the central employment system
- Female candidates who were previously unable to complete their employment procedures due to the revocation of their nationality
The circular is based on decisions made during the Civil Service Council's meetings:
- No. 1 (held on January 19, 2025)
- No. 4 (held on February 20, 2025)
- No. 6 (held on March 16, 2025)
The directive has been distributed to ministries, government departments, public agencies, and state-owned oil companies.
Additionally, during its meeting No. 13 (held on July 3, 2025), the Civil Service Council approved a significant amendment: The contract period for affected women will now be set at two years, starting from the day after the nationality revocation, instead of the previous one-year term. Furthermore, the employing entity may renew the contract directly without needing prior approval from the Civil Service Bureau.
