KUWAIT CITY, Feb 12: The General Department of Residence Affairs will give the holders of Article 22 (dependent visa), Article 18 (who work in the private sector), and Article 24 (a self-sponsor) six months is likely to end in September, to enter the country during otherwise the residence permits of those who remain the country outside the country for more than six months will be automatically cancelled, reports Al-Anba daily. The source said an official statement shall be issued by the Ministry of Interior in this regard shortly specifying the timing of the start of the deadline, which the sources said is appropriate because it gives enough time saying there will be no obstacle to the return of expatriate university students to visit their families, as the study stops in June and begins in September.

The source said the renewal of residence online for those outside the country is still in effect as the citizen or resident has the right to renew the residence permit of those on their sponsorship while they are outside the country.
