3rd jan, 2026: According to a report by Al-Anba daily, Kuwaiti authorities deported 39,487 expatriates in 2025. These removals were prompted by various factors, including drug-related offenses, violations of residency laws, and threats to the public interest. Security officials emphasized that these figures represent a rigorous commitment to maintaining national stability and public order.
The deportation process followed comprehensive legal reviews conducted during nationwide security sweeps. Notably, the enforcement of these orders often extended to family members who were legally dependent on the violators. Sources confirmed that these operations are ongoing, underscoring a “zero-tolerance” policy for lawbreakers while maintaining that Kuwait remains open to all who respect its legal framework.
