The Kuwaiti government has said it will meet with other countries to discuss the issue of dual citizenship for Kuwaiti citizens, after discovering several new cases of dual citizenship among its nationals. This move is a clear indication of Kuwait’s strong position on the matter, as dual citizenship is strictly prohibited under Kuwaiti law.
The authorities have increased surveillance of those who secretly hold a second passport, and official reports have indicated that some Kuwaitis have obtained the nationalities of foreign nations while retaining their own. The government is now working to coordinate with other countries to verify and address these cases.
Officialdom officials have warned that those found guilty of concealing a second nationality could face possible legal repercussions and also the revocation of their Kuwaiti citizenship. The government has also called on citizens to comply with the nationality laws and cautioned against fraudulent practices to bypass regulations.
This latest measure is in line with Kuwait’s overall national security and identity protection policies, which are intended to ensure openness and maintain the country’s stringent nationality laws. The issue of dual citizenship has always been a sensitive one in Kuwait, leading to more aggressive enforcement in recent years.
