(UDHAYAM, KUWAIT) – Kuwait has suspended the issuance of visas for nationals of Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
According to the Indo Asian News Service following US President Donald Trump’s executive order banning seven Muslim-majority countries last Friday, the Kuwaiti government has told would-be migrants from the five banned nations to not apply for visas, as it is worried about the possible migration of radical Islamic terrorists.
Kuwait City previously issued a suspension of visas for all Syrians in 2011. A group of terrorists bombed a Shia mosque in 2015, killing 27 Kuwaiti nationals.
A 2016 survey conducted by Expat Insider ranked Kuwait one of the worst nations in the world for expatriates, primarily due to its strict cultural laws.
