Kuwait lifts 19-Year ban on Pakistani skilled workers visa, Reopens jobs for Pakistanis
ISLAMABAD: After 19 long years, Kuwait has finally reopened its doors to Pakistani skilled workers, ending a visa ban that had been in place since 2006. This major development is being seen as a turning point in the labor and diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
For nearly two decades, thousands of skilled Pakistani workers—such as electricians, plumbers, engineers, and technicians—were unable to seek employment in Kuwait due to visa restrictions. But now, things are about to change for the better.
The ban’s removal means new job opportunities for Pakistanis and much-needed skilled labor for Kuwait. Officials from both countries have expressed hope that this move will not only benefit individual workers and their families but also strengthen economic ties between the two nations.
Pakistani authorities have welcomed the decision and are working closely with Kuwaiti officials to ensure a smooth and transparent recruitment process.
Families who had long waited for this news are overjoyed. “We finally have hope again,” said one young man preparing to apply for work in Kuwait.
This positive step brings fresh opportunities for Pakistani talent and reaffirms the strong connection between Pakistan and Kuwait.
