For individuals who lost their Kuwaiti citizenship status under the “Outstanding Services” clause, the government of Kuwait has issued a 4-month grace period to regularize their status.
What to Expect
- During the grace period, individuals can travel using their Kuwaiti passports.
- A one-year window is allotted for affected people to obtain foreign passports or new residency documentation.
- During the grace period, individuals retain their rights for work (non-supervisory roles), education, housing, and vehicle ownership.
- Individuals who do not start the regularization process within three months may lost their benefits.
Affected individuals may lodge appeals via the Citizenship Withdrawal Grievance Committee, established under Cabinet Resolutions No. 207/2025 and amended Resolution No. 493/2025. The committee oversees grievances related to nationality revocations.
