Kuwait: Residents over 60 years can renew visas

The Public Authority for Manpower yesterday allowed expats aged 60 and over and who hold a secondary certificate or less to renew their residence permits provided they pay an annual fee of KD500 in addition to paying for health insurance.

The decision means that the Authority has scrapped a controversial decision it issued last year to ban elderly expats, who spent most of their life in Kuwait, from renewing residence permits meaning they must leave the country.
