KUWAIT CITY, Aug 23: According to informed security sources, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled has directed the ministry’s leaders, each according to his competence, to coordinate and cooperate with the ministries and state agencies regarding the collection of financial dues owed by expatriates and visitors before they leave the country, reports Aljarida daily. They explained that the minister asked the relevant security leaders to develop a mechanism and a vision about the appropriate ways to collect these funds so that the appropriate decision in this regard can be taken. The concerned security leaders, in coordination with state ministries and agencies, are currently discussing the appropriate procedure for collecting the dues owed by expatriates and visitors.

The most prominent of these scenarios is that the expatriate or visitor be granted an electronic clearance stating that he does not owe anything to any government agency. This procedure does not contradict the law, and can be considered a valid official and legal procedure, even if the expatriate wants to leave for a vacation and return. With the previous experience of the departure of huge numbers of expatriates from the country during the outbreak of the COVID- 19 pandemic, it became clear eventually that there were financial obligations incurred on them, and many of them lost their residency while they were outside the country without paying their dues.
