Abstract

 
 

Art. 1 sets the rules for granting regular residence to a worker’s dependants in the case of individuals already in the country at the time this order is issued. This is without prejudice to articles 22 and 27 of Ministerial Order No. 640 of 1987.

 

  1. The Government Sector: a dependant residence visa may be granted to the wife of a governmental employee and three of his children whose salary is no less than 450 KD. If he has more than three children, then he must pay a yearly fee of 100 KD for each additional child. If the dependant is a family member other than a wife or child then he must pay a yearly fee of 200 KD per person.
  2. The Private Sector: a dependant residence visa may be granted to the wife of a private sector employee and two of his children whose salary is no less than 650 KD for a yearly fee of 100 KD per family member. If he has more than two children, then he must pay a yearly fee of 200 KD for each additional child. If the dependant is a family member other than a wife or child then he must pay a yearly fee of 200 KD per person.

 

Art. 2 exempts from the previous rules:

  1. A Kuwaiti citizen’s foreign wife
  2. A divorced or widowed foreign wife of a Kuwaiti citizen who has had children with him.
  3. Rules 1 and 2 are applicable to GCC citizens who reside in Kuwait.
