Kuwaiti companies are facing an acute talent shortage just as the emirate lifts a 19-year visa ban on Pakistani nationals—opening doors to a pool of skilled professionals eager for opportunities abroad. With over 95,000–109,853 Pakistanis already in Kuwait and the government actively recruiting 1,200 nurses to fill critical gaps in healthcare, the time is ripe for Kuwaiti employers to tap into this resource.
Why Pakistani Manpower Is a Strategic Choice
Pakistani professionals bring a blend of skills, adaptability, and cultural compatibility that align perfectly with Kuwait’s Vision 2035 diversification goals:
- Proven Expertise in sectors like healthcare, engineering, finance, IT and construction
- Multilingual Advantage: Fluent in Urdu, English, Arabic and regional languages, easing workplace communication
- Cost-Effectiveness: Competitive salary expectations relative to regional averages, without compromising quality
- Strong Work Ethic and a track record of reliability within GCC markets
