Runaways’ iqamas void after 60 days KUWAIT: The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in coordination with the Interior Ministry has adopted a new system which nullifies the iqama of an absconding worker 60 days after police are informed. Informed sources said the system went into effect on Sept 1, adding that there was a proposal to cancel the iqama immediately after an employer reports a worker missing, but the ministry objected and proposed the 60-day period to give the worker a chance to know that there is an absconding complaint against him or her. The sources said if the absconding complaint is malicious, the ministry will take necessary legal procedures against the employer for forgery. – Al-Watan.
