KUWAIT: Kuwait authorities on Tuesday launched a new electronic service for issuing temporary residency permits through Sahel App, local media reported.
A new electronic service for providing temporary residency permits under Articles 20 and 22 has been launched by the Ministry of Interior. It may be accessed through the Sahel unified government e-services app.
A press statement from the General Directorate of Security Relations and Media stated that this service would do away with the requirement for sponsors to visit the Residence Affairs Department in person in order to print the electronic residence sticker. Instead, sponsors would receive a notification with the sticker.
The Ministry emphasised that this program is a part of the General Directorate of Information Systems and the General Department of Residency Affairs’ continuous efforts to streamline processes and increase convenience for residents and citizens.
Kuwait, a small country in the Arabian Peninsula, is renowned for its wealth and modernity. Its economy is heavily reliant on its vast oil reserves, which generate significant revenue for the government. Kuwait has invested heavily in infrastructure and social services, providing its citizens with a high standard of living. The country’s oil industry also attracts a large number of expatriates from around the world, who contribute to various sectors such as construction, finance, and healthcare.
Kuwait has numerous historical sites, including ancient forts, traditional souks, and Islamic mosques. Despite its rapid modernization, Kuwait has preserved its traditional values and customs. The country’s hospitality and welcoming atmosphere make it a popular destination for both tourists and expatriates.
