The Kuwaiti authorities have imposed new restrictions on expatriates wishing to obtain family visas.
Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Shaikh Khalid Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah issued an edict increasing the minimum salary to obtain a family visa to KD 500.
The decision amends a previous directive which stipulated that the minimum salary for family visas should be KD 450.
The edict authorises the director-general of residency affairs to exempt those already in Kuwait or born there from the salary cap.
