Minister of Interior Sheikh Jaber Al-Khalid Al-Sabah has granted a two-month grace period for 15,000 expatriates under the sponsorship of bogus companies to legalize their stay in Kuwait or go back to their home countries without facing any legal problem. Affirming the decision will be implemented soon, reliable sources said Sheikh Jaber has taken into consideration the plight of the victims of bogus companies. He has formed a committee to look into the problems of these expatriates and recommend appropriate solutions. Sources clarified this decision will allow the concerned expatriates to transfer their residency from bogus to legal companies or leave the country without facing any legal problem. Sources said this decision complements the annual Amiri amnesty for Residency Law violators to correct their status.
