Approval of the Employment Visa (Manual and eVisa):

Approval copy is very important for a new Employment Visa holder. When an Employment Visa holder arrives in the State of Kuwait, Immigration Officials check the Approval copy at the Airport, Sea port or Land port and allow him to enter the State of Kuwait. Even if the Visa holder has a valid Employment Visa, if the person does not have the Approval copy, then there may be obstacles in entering the State of Kuwait.

The Approval copy mentions the Commercial License/Civil ID number of the company or sponsor, which verifies the authenticity of the company or sponsor.

The Approval copy mentions the Office in the State of Kuwait from which the Employment Visa was issued.

The Approval copy contains the necessary name and address of the Company or Sponsor along with short information.

The Approval copy mentions the type of business or personal profession of the company or sponsor.

The Approval copy contains the company or sponsor's Employment permit number and the date of receipt of the permit.

The Approval copy contains all the information of the Employment Visa holder such as: full name as written in the passport, passport number, nationality, date of birth and gender.

The Approval copy contains the Employment Visa issue number, along with the month and year of visa issue in English.

The Approval copy contains the monthly salary and occupation of the employee.

The Approval Copy provides a new Employment Visa holder with all the correct information, including permission to enter the State of Kuwait, many of which are not recorded on the Visa. The Approval Copy is issued by the Public Authority of Manpower along with the issuance of the Employment Visa.
