I want to know if I can get a visit visa for my husband. My salary is KD250/-. Secondly where should I go to clear my travel ban? Is it allowed to get a visit visa without paying the amount for which the ban has been imposed on me?

Name withheld

Answer: If you have any outstanding violation against you or if you have to pay a certain amount to someone for which the travel ban has been imposed, no transaction from you will be accepted until you clear the violation or pay the money and have the ban removed. You can go to Interior Ministry office in whichever governorate you reside or the special booth set up for the purpose at the airport.
Secondly, once the violation is cleared you won’t face any problem getting a visit visa.
