KUWAIT: The Ministry of Interior made a significant announcement today, Sunday, regarding the initiation of a process to assist violators of the residency law in either departing from the country or rectifying their legal status. This initiative will be carried out in two distinct periods, aiming to streamline procedures for affected individuals.

During the first period, operating within official working hours and across all governorates, individuals seeking to rectify their residency status within the country can do so by visiting the Department of Residence Affairs in their respective governorate. This measure is intended to provide a straightforward avenue for residents to address their legal status concerns.

Additionally, the Ministry outlined an evening period, spanning from 3 pm to 8 pm, during which violators interested in leaving the country will be accommodated. Those possessing new passports or travel documents are encouraged to avail themselves of this opportunity by registering them in the computer system at the Residence Affairs Departments of Mubarak Al-Kabeer and Farwaniya Governorates.

In a press statement, the Ministry underscored its commitment to facilitating the departure or regularization of residency status for affected individuals, thereby ensuring compliance with legal regulations while providing necessary support to residents in navigating administrative procedures. This initiative reflects the government’s dedication to upholding the rule of law while offering practical solutions to residency-related challenges faced by certain segments of the population.
