MoI: Leave Kuwait or legalize status

  • 21/05/2024

The Ministry of Interior has initiated an awareness campaign called "You Can Leave the Country or Amend Your Legal Status" for individuals who have violated the Residency Law. The ministry has advised these violators to visit the Residency Affairs Department in their respective areas in order to fulfill the necessary procedures to either leave the country or amend their status. In March of this year, the ministry began implementing an amnesty program, allowing those who had violated the aforementioned laws to depart the country without incurring fines or to legalize their status by paying fines. Prior to the implementation of the amnesty, it was estimated that there were approximately 120,000 violators, and a significant number of them have taken advantage of this compassionate gesture since March.
