Asked about the reason behind the Middle Eastern country’s move to suspend visa issuance, de Vega said Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior cited the Philippines’ violations of the bilateral labor agreement.
“It could be the suspension of deployment for first-time workers or the fact that we are sheltering runaway workers,” he pointed out.The Department of Migrant Workers on Wednesday said it had not yet received word of the then-unconfirmed decision of the Kuwaiti government to halt the issuance of visas for Filipinos.
The deployment suspension, according to the DMW, will hold “until after significant reforms have been made resulting from upcoming bilateral talks with the said country.”
