KUWAIT CITY, June 4: Kuwait has removed a ban on fresh visas for Pakistanis which was imposed almost seven years ago.
Press reports, quoting high-ranking Kuwaiti officials, say Pakistanis and Bangladeshi nationals could now obtain working, business and family visas whose issuance was restricted in 1997. There are around 100,000 Pakistanis already working in Kuwait, but new recruitment was stopped due to the ban from 1997.
Pakistani Ambassador Shafkat Saeed welcomed the move and said it would help strengthen the relations between Pakistan and Kuwait.
