In Kuwait, the driving licenses of 8,000 expatriates were canceled in the last six months. These figures were released by the Transport Department of the Ministry of Interior. This is according to the calculation from January to June 30 of this year. On the basis of physical disabilities, the licenses of 50 natives and non-residents who did not meet the conditions for getting a license were cancelled.
Exact conditions and criteria have been set for expats to get a driver's license such as salary, employment, and university degree. Those who obtained a license under these conditions and later changed jobs and had a lower salary have also had their licenses revoked.
The system of voluntary review of the driving license of non-residents is working. According to this, more licenses will be revoked in the coming days. Most of the revoked licenses.
Quoting ministry sources, the local daily newspaper reported that these are expatriate students who have completed their studies and drivers who run away from sponsors and work abroad.
