KUWAIT: Upon instructions from Ministry of Interior’s Acting Residency Affairs Director, the Residency Affairs Department has temporarily suspended the renewal of residency visas of dependant relatives other than wives and kids, such as parents, siblings and others holding article 22 visas.

The instructions also stated that all transactions would be submitted to relevant immigration departments to be granted temporary three month renewals until a detailed report about each respective case is made and submitted to the Residency System Central Department.

These include all needed documents about both sponsors and dependants in addition to a system printout with all data. The final reports will then be made on each case pending final review by MoI’s Assistant Undersecretary for Citizenship and Passport Affairs before renewing the residency.
