Kuwait: Starting from January 10, 2016, the renewal validity of expatriates dependents’ residency visa a.k.a. family visa (article 22) would be tied to the validity of those of their own sponsors, said Director of the Interior Ministry’s Residency Affairs Department Major General Talal Maarafi. “This means that if an expat’s residency is valid for one year, he can only renew those of his wife or kids for a single year,” he explained.
