Citizens from five Muslim-majority countries will no
longer be able to obtain Kuwaiti visas, after reports
the Gulf state issued tight entry restrictions that
mirrored US President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban.
Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans will
not be able to obtain visit, tourism or trade Kuwaiti
visas with the news coming one day after the US
slapped its own restrictions on seven Muslim-
majority countries.
Passport holders from the countries will no lot be
allowed to enter the Gulf state while the blanket ban
is in place and have been told not to apply to visas .
Kuwaiti sources told local media that the restrictions
were in place due to the “instability” in the five
countries and that the ban would be lifted once the
security situation improves.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have all witnessed violence
from extremist groups, while Syria and Iraq are
embroiled in internal conflicts.
Although mainly peaceful, tensions between Iran and
the Gulf have ratched up over the past year with the
GCC powers accusing Tehran of attempting to
destabalise the region.
Kuwait is concerned about the threat of extremist
groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group
with both militant organisations have a presence in
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The Gulf state has witnessed a number of militant
attacks over the past two years, including the
bombing of a Shia mosque in 2015 which left 27
Kuwaits dead.
Kuwait responded by arresting dozens of suspected
Daesh sympathizers and rolling out mandatary DNA
testing programme and database for the Gulf state’s
4 million population.
Kuwait reportedly issued a ban on all visas for
Syrians in 2011, but allowed those inside the country
to remain.
It made Kuwait the only country in the world to
officially bar entry to Syrians, until the US named
Syria in seven countries banned from entering.
Kuwait has issued a number of laws targeting
foreigners in recent years, and made it one of the
most unfriendly Gulf states towards expatriates.
In 2015, Kuwait was named as the worst place in the
world for expatriates in a 64 country InterNations
survey.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Muslim ban has been met with
widespread outrage since it was signed on Friday,
although Gulf states have remained quiet on the
issue.
Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan outraged Syrians
and other nationalities included in the ban when he
publicly backed Trump’s decision.
