KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3: The Ministry of Interior on Sunday called on women whose Kuwaiti nationality has been revoked to promptly begin procedures to amend their legal status by Article 8 of the Kuwaiti Nationality Law.
In an official statement, the ministry emphasized the importance of initiating the required steps within the specified timeframe to retain access to benefits provided under the so-called “Kuwaiti treatment” framework. The MoI warned that any delay or failure to demonstrate genuine efforts to amend one’s status could result in the cancellation of these benefits.
The ministry further clarified that proceeding with legal status amendments does not affect the right to file a grievance with the Grievance Committee for Withdrawal, Forfeiture, and Loss of Kuwaiti Nationality. The deadline to complete the procedures and provide proof of seriousness is set for August 31, 2025.
As part of efforts to streamline the process, the Ministry announced plans to launch a dedicated electronic platform to receive relevant documents. This initiative aims to simplify the procedures and ensure continued access to the benefits for those who qualify.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to facilitating the process while upholding legal requirements and ensuring fairness in the implementation of nationality regulations.
