Kuwait’s Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has rolled out new directives allowing expatriate workers to officially update their registered professions and educational qualifications to match their actual job functions. Following Ministerial Circular No. 1 of 2026, the move is designed to improve the efficiency and transparency of the local labor market. For the vast expatriate workforce, this regulatory shift provides crucial flexibility, ensuring that professional classifications accurately reflect their skills and protecting workers’ rights across various economic sectors.
