Kuwait has announced that the validity of some expired visit visas for those within the country will be extended by one month , according to Al Rai newspaper.
Directives have been issued to heed humanitarian cases in extension due to repercussions of the global coronavirus pandemic including travel restrictions, rises in air fares and infections that may have hit some visitors.
Al Rai, citing what it termed as well-informed sources, said the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry, represented in the residency affairs sector, has decided to allow one-month extension for some cases among the visit visa holders, who could not leave the country during the deadline that expired Monday at midnight.
The extension will be processed automatically by the ministry online to avoid overcrowding at the Residency Affairs department.
Around 5,000 foreigners are estimated to have not left Kuwait despite the expiry of their visit visas, the sources said.
