Kuwait's Ministry of Interior announced that reports circulating on social media about a decision exempting residency fees under the new law are untrue, stressing that the residency procedures in force continue without any amendment and that fees are collected in full in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
The ministry explained that the exemption currently applied is limited only to health insurance fees, under a decision issued by the Ministry of Health, and covers the first three domestic workers for Kuwaiti families, without extending to any other residency-related fees, according to a post on the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior's account on X.
The Ministry of Interior called on all individuals and residents to verify the accuracy of the news and information they share and to rely on the ministry's official channels when inquiring about decisions and regulatory procedures related to residency, movement and services for travellers and residents in the State of Kuwait.
