Kuwait issues major amendments to sovereign citizenship laws

A new decree-law has significantly reshaped the Kuwaiti nationality framework, tightening the rules on granting and withdrawing citizenship. The amendments grant the Ministry of Interior expanded powers to revoke nationality in cases of fraud or dual citizenship without judicial review. Authorities are now permitted to use biometric and DNA data to verify identity in all citizenship-related disputes. Source: Gulf News / KUNA
