ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will resume exporting skilled workers to Kuwait after the lifting of 19-year visa ban, Arab News reported on Monday.

The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (OP&HRD) will resume exporting skilled workers to Kuwait after the Gulf country lifted a 19-year visa ban on Islamabad earlier this year.

“Overseas Employment Corporation, an attached department of the Ministry of OP&HRD, would export skilled workers to the State of Kuwait after a long time,” Arab News reported. “Pakistan has been sending its skilled workers to Kuwait.”

Pakistan state media reported that there were vacancies for the post of a warehouse supervisor, whose maximum age can be 35, and has diploma or a bachelor’s degree and must be fluent in English, in Kuwait.

Pakistan state run news agency (APP) reported that applicants should possess strong customer service skills and have experience working in retail warehouses or logistics companies.

The deadline

Jobs for the posts of warehouse coordinator, warehouseman, carpenter, assistant furniture and drivers were also available, the state-run media said. It said the deadline for the submission of documents by applicants is August 15, 2025.

Pakistan, which enjoys cordial relations with Kuwait and cooperation in several sectors, established diplomatic ties with the Gulf nation in October 1963.
