Kuwait overhauls expat residency fees and Article 22 conditions

Kuwait has officially implemented a new fee structure and salary threshold for expatriate families as part of its 2026 immigration reforms. Sponsors must now earn a minimum of KD 800 per month to bring spouses and children under a unified Article 22 residency classification. These standardized rules aim to bring clarity to the immigration system while ensuring that resident families can maintain sustainable living standards. Source: The Times of India / KUNA
