Kuwait launches online visa service for domestic workers, drivers; revises sponsorship rules

Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has launched a new digital service that allows citizens and expatriates to issue and manage domestic worker and driver-related services online through the unified government application "Sahel." The initiative was introduced in coordination with the Public Authority for Manpower and the ministry's information technology sector.

According to the ministry, the service forms part of Kuwait's broader efforts to digitise government transactions, simplify recruitment procedures and streamline residency-related services, as per a report by Gulf News. Users can now complete applications electronically without visiting service centres, a move aimed at reducing processing times and improving efficiency.
