KUWAIT CITY, Aug 14: Director of the Electronic Services Department at the General Department of Residency
Colonel Abdulaziz Al-Kandari says there is no ban on the entry of any nationality to Kuwait except for Israeli

every decision taken by the Ministry of Interior is based on thorough studies that consider both immediate and
long-term implications, with regulations developed accordingly.
