Manama: Foreigners in Kuwait will be able to sponsor themselves if they maintain an impeccable record after a two-year stay in the country, the social affairs and labour minister has said.
The move is part of a plan to put an end to the sponsorship system that Kuwait is determined to cancel, Mohammad Al Affassi said.
"I am serious about finding a solution to the issue, particularly that it affects the reputation of Kuwait and has highly significant humanitarian dimensions. Putting an end to the sponsorship system also means the elimination of trafficking in residence and work permits," Al Affassi was quoted as saying by Al Dar daily. http://www.gulfnews.com/news/gulf/kuwait/10337771.html
