Kuwait's domestic worker market is overseen by the Public Authority for Manpower. Licensed agencies in Kuwait City, Hawalli, and Farwaniya recruit housemaids, nannies, drivers, and caregivers primarily from the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, and Ethiopia. Kuwait has implemented the unified domestic worker contract and the Al-Durra insurance programme to protect both workers and employers. Agencies listed here are verified, government-licensed, and offer professional recruitment with clear pricing, contract guarantees, and replacement support.
37 verified recruitment agencies are currently listed in Kuwait, serving families in cities including حولي, الكويت.
Legal recruitment offices in Kuwait hold a licence from the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM). Before paying any deposit, ask the office for its PAM licence number and confirm your contract is Kuwait's unified domestic worker contract under Law 68/2015 — it guarantees the KWD 75 minimum wage (commonly KWD 100–150 in practice), weekly rest, and a replacement or refund if the worker is medically unfit or refuses to work in the first months.

The best services are PAM-licensed offices that use Kuwait's unified domestic worker contract and are upfront about fees. This directory lists verified Kuwaiti offices in Kuwait City, Hawalli, and Farwaniya — compare their services, ask each for its PAM licence number, and prefer offices offering a clear replacement policy under the contract's guarantee period.
Agency recruitment packages in Kuwait typically run KWD 350–700 from abroad depending on nationality, while transferring a worker already in Kuwait costs roughly KWD 255–360 in official fees. Monthly salaries generally range KWD 100–150 for housemaids and KWD 120–170 for nannies.
Kuwait periodically updates its approved source countries — recent regulations focus recruitment on around ten countries including the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Ethiopia. A licensed office will confirm which corridors are currently open and the realistic timeline for each.
