  • 18/04/2022

Kuwait City: After a five-month break, the Ministry of Interior plans to grant visas to the Lebanese community following the resumption of diplomatic relations between Lebanon and Gulf countries, including Kuwait. According to sources, the return of Kuwaiti Ambassador Abdel-Al Al-Qena'i and Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Lebanon signals the end of the issue, which erupted following former Lebanese Minister of Information George Qardahi's comments concerning the war in Yemen. According to sources, the residency affairs departments in the six governorates are completely prepared to handle visa applications from the Lebanese community if the decision is made to resume issuing visas to Lebanese in light of recent good developments in the Gulf-Lebanon dispute. 


Sources hinted that the first stage includes the issuance of commercial and government visas to the Lebanese, followed by work visas, and then family and tourist visas. 

Meanwhile, the parliamentary Interior and Defense Affairs Committee approved the proposal of National Assembly Secretary Farz Al-Daihani to issue visas for new domestic workers, as long as the regulations of the Health Ministry are strictly implemented.
