Kuwait to launch freelance visas in April, ending kafala system reliance and boosting labor market transparency.
Kuwait will launch a freelance residency permit within two months, allowing expatriates to work independently without a sponsor, ending reliance on the kafala system.
Priced between KD 750 and 1,000 annually, the visa aims to curb illegal visa trading and boost transparency.
The reform, part of broader labor market changes, includes cracking down on illegal employment, revoking thousands of business licenses, and deporting nearly 39,000 workers.
Officials emphasized accountability for all, including high-profile figures, and pledged to modernize residency rules, strengthen oversight, and support entrepreneurs.
Specific eligibility details remain pending.
