Kuwait To Launch Family Visa In 2024: Fine Of KD100 Per Day For Gulf Visa Defaulters

A reliable source told Al-Anba daily that the Ministry of Interior is exploring the possibility of granting Article 22 visas to family or dependents by the beginning of 2024.

Although the source clarified that this will only apply to certain types of expatriates, such as doctors, professors, counselors, and others that will be determined based on several factors.

The source did not enumerate the factors, however. An official from the ministry told the daily that a committee will be formed soon to set conditions for expatriates who will be allowed to bring their families to the country according to the demographic strategy being implemented by the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled.

Another development was revealed by the source that the unified Gulf visa mechanism of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries stipulates a fine of KD100 per day for any visitor who does not leave the country on expiration of the visa; as well as provisions on health insurance and hotel reservations.
