Mps Coming Up To The Idea Of Granting Permanent Residency To Expats Spending 30 Years In Kuwait

24 November 2017 Kuwait

Several MPs are gradually coming up to the idea of granting permanent residence to expatriates spending 30 years in Kuwait, amid growing concern about the current demographic imbalance, and issue of marginal workers and visa trade.

The lawmakers did not overlook the demographic issue while discussing the idea, which they have carefully considered on humanitarian grounds.

In this context, MP Abdullah Fahad stated the thought of granting permanent residency to expatriates who spent 30 years in Kuwait after relevant amendments is superb and well-deserved only if the beneficiary obtains police clearance to prove he/she is without criminal record or threatens public security.

He added the initiative if implemented will allow expatriates to invest in Kuwait instead of transferring money to their home countries. He noted Kuwait does not derive benefit from millions of dinars transferred outside the country monthly or yearly. He reiterated the proposal will help Kuwait to keep its humane heritage while maintaining good reputation, adding the proposal needs support and viewpoints of the MPs.
