Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has firmly denied recent reports suggesting that expatriates violating family visa regulations are permitted to amend their residency status. In an official statement released today, the ministry labeled such claims as “completely false” and clarified that no new decisions or circulars have been issued regarding this matter.
The ministry emphasized that any official announcements concerning residency regulations or ministerial decisions are made exclusively through authorized channels. It urged the public and media to verify information before publication and to rely solely on statements issued through the ministry’s official platforms.
This clarification comes amid a wave of misleading reports about potential leniency measures, as Kuwait continues efforts to streamline residency policies and address visa violations under existing laws.
