Recent developments from the Ministry of Interior indicate significant changes in the application process for dependent visas, effective from this Sunday. These changes, guided by Sheikh Fahd Al-Yousef, the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Acting Minister of Interior, align with the newly released Ministerial Resolution No. (56 of 2024). The resolution introduces new requirements and guidelines for obtaining visas for family reunification.

Under the updated rules, individuals wishing to bring their family members to Kuwait must meet certain criteria. A notable change is the increase in the minimum salary requirement to 800 dinars, coupled with the necessity for applicants to have a university degree. Additionally, there is a new stipulation that the applicant's job should correspond with their academic qualifications. These changes aim to refine the process of granting entry visas, ensuring that applicants meet specific standards before they can reunite with their families.
