The Ministry of Interior has launched a new digital service through the government’s unified “Sahel” application, enabling citizens and residents to verify the status of domestic worker visas before beginning the recruitment process.

The initiative aims to curb duplication, reduce rejected applications, and enhance transparency in a sector considered highly sensitive in the country, The Economic Times (India) reports.

According to the ministry, the service allows users to confirm whether a visa has already been issued for a specific worker, helping streamline procedures and limit administrative errors.

Officials said the move supports broader efforts to modernize public services and protect the rights of all parties involved in domestic labor recruitment.

In a separate development, the Supreme Committee for the Investigation of Kuwaiti Citizenship, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, announced decisions to revoke citizenship in a number of cases.
