Abstract

Art. 1 adds two articles to Ministerial Order No. 87 of 1989:

Art. 15 (repeated 1) allows the transfer of the residence of a worker’s dependents to a work residence subject to his approval and in accordance with the provisions of this order.
Art. 15 (repeated 2) allows the transfer of the residence of workers in the private sector to the government sector and vice versa without adhering to the time limit set in article 16 if both parties agree to it.

Art. 2 amends article 16 of Ministerial Order No. 87 of 1989 with regards to the time limit set before a transfer of the work permit from one employer to another can take place, reducing the time limit to two years instead of three.

Art. 3 amends article 17 of the same Ministerial Order: “The Ministry can exempt whoever resided in the country for 10 continuous years from the time limit set in the previous article.”
