KUWAIT: As the amnesty period granted by the Amir to illegal residents is set to expire on June 30, the Criminal Investigation Department
in cooperation with Immigration Department and Police has joined hands to allow residents to either leave immediately, pay fines or legalize their stay by transferring their residence permits with a new sponsor.
Those who are not in possession of a passport or civil Identification will be traced through the Investigation Department located in the Capital governorate. Their personal information can be accessed by referring to fingerprint details. Thereafter, they can obtain travel documents from respective embassies and exit the country without paying penalties before 30 June.
The Ministry of Interior's Assistant Undersecretary Lt General Abdul Hameed Al-Awadhi said that a raid will be conducted in all governorates. More concerted efforts will be made towards the end of amnesty period. Lists containing the names of violators have been prepared.
They will be subjected to thorough interrogation, pay fines and face deportation. Those who leave the country voluntarily will be given an opportunity to return once they fulfill the necessary conditions. Al-Awadhi warned that those who are still at large will meet dire consequences. - Kuwait Times
