Dubai: Kuwait has started deportation proceedings against several individuals who overstayed their visit visas, along with their sponsors. According to the ministry’s statement, both the overstayers and their sponsors, despite holding valid residency, have been referred for deportation due to their failure to adhere to the signed pledge and visit visa regulations. The ministry emphasised that it is committed to enforcing residency laws and holding accountable both sponsors and their visitors. In a TV interview, Al Wazzan revealed that the new measures will introduce stricter penalties for both workers and sponsors who violate residency laws. Al Wazzan stressed that the amendments will protect workers’ rights, create more job opportunities for Kuwaiti citizens, and contribute to national security and stability.
