Thank you!
Can anyone tell me where the MOI is? I need to speak to them about my families visit visas.
If you live in Salmiya or Hawally you can go ask here https://goo.gl/maps/14M6UXTCidDqS7aq8
Andrew, i visited them this morning, all visas are suspended and they said they expect it for another 2-3 weeks. However if you family have a residency then you can renew it while they are out of the country (not possible before) – I am not an authority on this, i am just passing on my experience from this morning, good luck.
Thanks RaZ
No they’re here on a tourist visa. I don’t know if we can go to Bahrain and come back or renew it within Kuwait or they have to leave 🙁
I’ll go tomorrow.
I would not go to Bahrain, as leaving would mean the present visa is concluded and they will not be issued a new one to re-enter 🙁
There was a statement yesterday that all visit visas for people currently in Kuwait can be extended
I have just been the passport office again, you can extended their visit Visa or you can transfer to residency under your spinsorship
Just went to my local one in Ahmadi and they sent me to Farwaniyah so off there now!
And Farwaniyah wouldn’t help me – said I had to go to the airport. I know that’s not true.
I think I’m getting the run around
That picture is epic! 🦠
Arab Times had said in recent article that there was one case in critical condition, but on the Coronavirus website you provided, it said there was 4 in critical condition!
