KUWAIT CITY, July 14: The Ministry of Interior has launched a new electronic service through the Sahel application to allow residents currently outside Kuwait to inquire about their last permitted entry date, reports Al-Anba daily. According to security sources, the service enables guardians to check the status of their children or spouse through simple electronic steps. Users can access the service by logging into the Sahel application, selecting “Services,” then “Ministry of Interior,” followed by “Residency Services,” and finally “Residency Permit Proof Certificate.”

The beneficiary’s name is then selected, whether it is the individual themselves or a family member, including a son, daughter, or spouse. The system generates an electronic document with a QR code that shows the resident's last permitted entry date outside Kuwait, helping them avoid any residency-related violations. The sources said the launch of this service is part of the exceptional measures introduced by the Ministry of Interior to help residents who were unable to return to Kuwait due to prevailing regional circumstances. As part of these measures, the ministry extended the validity of visit visas, granted additional grace periods for residents outside Kuwait, and implemented regulatory procedures to preserve residents’ legal status.
