According to Major General Tawheed Al-Kandari, Director General of the Ministry of Interior's General Department of Public Relations and Security Media, requests for leave of absence from expatriates are received by the ministry's residence departments in the six governorates, along with an acceptable and documented excuse, Al-Jarida reported. Those students who have completed their studies outside of the country and have residency under Article no. 22, can apply, through their guardian, to the residency department affiliated with it, and request an absence permit after submitting proof from the university, as well as a notarized proof from the Kuwait Embassy in the concerned country.

Similarly, Al-Kandari noted that the Kuwait Embassy in the same country verifies the health condition of humanitarian cases and patients. With the exception of those whose assessment is due in the first and last place to the leaders of the residence sector, if their stay outside the country exceeds more than six months, their visa will be automatically revoked.

It was announced about three months ago that the Department would begin electronic cancellation of employment residencies within the Nationality and Residence Affairs Sector. The government sector, the partnership sector, the dependent sector, the student sector, the self-sponsorship sector, and those who have been outside the country for more than six months are covered by Article (17). By calculating their stay outside the country from 1 August 2022 until the end of this month, their residency will be automatically canceled in accordance with Article (12), Paragraph (3) of the Foreigners Residence Law.
