Kuwait introduced sweeping amendments to its citizenship law under a new Emiri decree, significantly expanding the government’s authority to grant and revoke nationality, while tightening eligibility criteria across multiple categories.
The changes were issued under directives from Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and formalised through an Emiri decree-law, as part of broader legal reforms aimed at safeguarding national identity and addressing long-standing concerns over citizenship irregularities.
