Hajj approval for persons with revoked Kuwaiti citizenship

KUWAIT CITY, May 27: Hajj caravans have been informed about the approval of competent authorities to issue Hajj permits to those whose Kuwaiti citizenship was revoked following Article Eight of the Nationality Law, after fulfilling the specified conditions. Sources told the newspaper that those who meet the conditions will be issued passports and their names will be removed from the banned list, paving the way for them to be assigned to the caravans.

Sources added that those who do not meet the conditions — those with a travel ban, a security restriction or an expired passport — are excluded from the aforementioned procedures. Sattam Al-Muzain, head of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs team in the Kuwaiti Hajj expedition, has announced the arrival of the expedition members to the Holy Land in preparation for receiving the pilgrims from Kuwait.

This is a confirmation of the report about the arrival of Kuwaiti Hajj expedition teams to the Holy Land that the newspaper published recently. Al-Muzain said the teams and committees began their duties immediately upon their arrival at the expedition’s headquarters in Makkah, affirming that they have completed preparations to provide the best services to the guests of Almighty Allah from Kuwait.
