The Ministry of Interior has rolled out a new electronic service within the "Residence Services" section of the Sahel app, allowing the issuance of temporary residence permits for those under Articles 20 and 22. This innovative service aims to streamline the process for sponsors and their dependents by eliminating the need for physical visits to the Residency Affairs Sector.

Through the newly introduced feature, sponsors will now receive notifications for temporary residence issuance. The digital process negates the need for physical residency stamping, significantly easing the procedure. This service particularly benefits domestic workers under Article 20 and dependents under Article 22.

Announced on the Ministry of Interior's official account on "X" (formerly Twitter), the initiative is part of a broader push toward digital transformation. The ministry’s Security Media Department emphasized that the General Department of Residency Affairs and the General Department of Information Systems are committed to simplifying procedures for both citizens and residents in Kuwait.

This new digital service aligns with ongoing efforts to optimize residency procedures in Kuwait. By offering more services online, the Ministry of Interior continues its commitment to reducing bureaucracy and enhancing convenience for residents.
