Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Kuwaiti employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Kuwaiti permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Kuwaiti project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Kuwaiti permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Kuwaiti specifics below are the part that makes Kuwait different from every other market we serve.
Work permit (PAM) and residence (iqama). The employer obtains a work permit from the Public Authority of Manpower, followed by an entry visa from the Ministry of Interior. After arrival the worker completes medical checks and fingerprinting and receives the residence permit and civil ID. Deployment of Filipino workers is governed by the bilateral framework between the two countries; skilled and professional roles run through the standard MWO verification.
Labour-market test: No labour-market test. Kuwaitization rules set the share of Kuwaiti staff by sector; the employer's PAM file must carry quota for the role and nationality before a work permit is issued. Deployment follows the Philippines–Kuwait bilateral framework.
Shortage occupations: No list; oil & gas services, construction, healthcare and hospitality hire steadily.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). MWO Kuwait verifies employers and contracts; deployment follows the Philippines–Kuwait bilateral framework. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Kuwaiti permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Kuwait is 6–10 weeks from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the PAM quota and work permit, the entry approval and the Philippine deployment clearance. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Kuwaiti employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Kuwait covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Kuwaiti route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Kuwaiti contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Kuwaiti employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the work permit under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Rules for household workers have varied over the years; skilled and professional roles deploy through the standard verified-contract route, which we run.
Depends on quota availability and company classification; we advise before you file.
