Kuwait’s Public Authority for Manpower introduced a digital self-service feature that allows company partners to complete Kuwait work permit renewals online through the Ashal Services portal.
The authority announced the update on May 17 in Kuwait as part of its e-government expansion plans. Officials said the platform supports faster labour procedures and improves access to permit services without requiring visits to service centres.

Under the new process, company partners can now manage Kuwait work permit renewals independently through the authority’s official online portal.
The authority said the service forms part of Kuwait’s wider digital transformation programme. It also aims to simplify labour-related procedures for businesses operating in the country.
The new feature also supports faster access to labour services for employers handling multiple employee permits. Companies can monitor renewal requests digitally and complete procedures without visiting government offices. Authorities said the platform improves workflow efficiency while supporting Kuwait’s broader plans to expand online public services across different sectors.

The online process also helps companies reduce administrative delays linked to manual applications. Businesses can submit requests, review application status and complete labour procedures through a single digital platform. Authorities said the service supports faster communication between employers and labour departments while improving overall service accessibility across Kuwait’s private sector.
