New Housing Rule Shuts Door on Non-Kuwaiti Sons Over 26

KUWAIT CITY, July 27: Ministerial Resolution No. 19 of 2025 was published in the Official Gazette Kuwait Alyoum, introducing amendments to certain provisions of the Housing Regulations.

According to the resolution, Articles 2 and 3 of Article 99 of the Housing Regulations have been replaced. The updated provisions specify that family members may benefit from government housing, except a non-Kuwaiti son of a Kuwaiti mother who is 26 years of age or older, unless he is an only child or has a severe or moderate disability.

The amendment also mandates that housing units must not remain unoccupied without a valid excuse approved by the Housing Authority for more than 60 consecutive days or 90 non-consecutive days within 12 months.

The resolution is effective immediately upon publication in the Official Gazette, and relevant authorities have been instructed to enforce it accordingly.
