Kuwait’s new expat travel rule: Over 35,000 exit permits issued within days
Thursday, 3 July 2025 () Kuwait has issued over 35,000 exit permits just days after enforcing a new rule requiring private-sector expatriates to secure employer approval before international travel. The fully digital system, accessible via the Sahel and Ashal platforms, streamlines departure processes while protecting worker rights and enforcing labour laws. Expats can file complaints if approvals are unfairly withheld.
