Kuwait Ends Visit Visa and Absence Permit Extensions From September 1
· World · Khaleej Times, Hindustan Times
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior has announced that it will discontinue the extension of visit visas and absence permits for expatriates starting September 1. This policy change applies to all visit visa types and residency permits for those currently outside the country. Authorities stated that individuals must adhere to the legal duration of their visas or face legal consequences. The decision is part of a broader effort to regulate residency status and ensure compliance with immigration laws. No exceptions or grace periods were mentioned in the official announcement.
Why it matters
This policy directly impacts the Indian diaspora and other expatriates in Kuwait by limiting their ability to extend stays beyond original visa terms, potentially forcing earlier departures or status adjustments.
