Cancel the Expats Residency at age of 55

Stressing the previous Parliament presented two bills in this regarded but one was rejected by the Legislative Committee “because they refused to specify the period of stay for expatriates engaged in menial jobs as one way of reducing the expatriate population.”

He suggested cancelling the residency of expatriates once they turn 55 years old except those with rare fields of specialization such as judges and doctors.

He argued that many Kuwaitis have specialized in other professions so it is no longer necessary to hire expatriates for such jobs.

He added the next government should understand this development in order to provide job opportunities for Kuwaitis and the children of Kuwaiti women married to non-Kuwaitis
