Kuwait City: So far, more than 1,800 expatriates have left the country thanks to the amnesty granted to Kuwait. A general amnesty was announced in the country from March 17 to June 17. 4,565 domestic and private workers paid fines and corrected their residence status. Embassies such as those of India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Egypt and Syria are currently issuing passes to citizens.

It is estimated that there are approximately one million illegal residents in Kuwait. The last amnesty was announced in Kuwait in January 2018. Although opportunities, including amnesty, have been granted several times in the past, most of them have not been exploited.

At the same time, resident offenders were granted amnesty to leave the country and renew their residency. In the morning, during official working hours, illegal residents can resolve the problem at the Shuoon (Residency Affairs) office in the governorate.

Another time is 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Violators who wish to leave Kuwait and return at this time must register at the Shuoun office in Mubarak Al-Kabir Governorate or Farwaniya Governorate with their passport or travel documents such as Out Pass.

Offenders with a passport registered in the Ministry of Interior system and wishing to leave Kuwait do not need to contact the administrative office. Instead, these people can go straight home. The deadline to resolve residency issues came into effect on Sunday, April 21, 2024.
