The Foreign Office on Monday rejected as baseless the news item published in some Kuwaiti newspapers, claiming that entry and work permit visas would not issued to Pakistani nationals. “The Embassy of Kuwait in Islamabad has confirmed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the news item published in some Kuwaiti newspapers, claiming that entry visas and work permit visas for Pakistani nationals have been stopped, is baseless and incorrect,” said a foreign office statement. The embassy had further assured that the Kuwaiti government had not issued any instructions about the subject.

  1. Pakistanis working abroad specially in GCC countries are contributing a lot in the development of GCC countries and should not be deprived from the opportunity of working in GCC countries. Any unwanted Pakistanis can be deported if they become a part of any Security Risk in GCC countries. Pakistan requires full support of muslim ummah under the current circumstances prevailing in Pakistan.

  2. I like to bring in the record of FO Islamabad That i am working in UAE since more than 4 years as engineer and accepted recently offer from one of the Kuwaiti companies. They asked the required papers for visa and i provived all in End of Feb 2011. In mrach they advised me to resign from current company as the visa will be out in a couple of weeks but unfortunately it was prolongged and last April 27, 2011 they informed me that Pakistanis visa are restrcited by govt of Kuwait and they remoevd my visa application. I went to Dubai consulate of Pakistan but nobody give me guidance what to do??? I request the FO Islamabad, if visa restrictions is not ture then kindly advise me how to proceed for my case with the company…

  3. FO Islamabad is either simply ignorant or they are lying, Kuwait has banned Pakistanis completely as me myself is recent visa rejection victim

  5. Pakistani FO is lying, the visas are banned i went to Salmiya office for my family visit visa and they are not even accepting any applications from Pakistanis..

    They should close Pakistan embassy in Kuwait it is totally worthless embassy, with no support to Pakistanis residing in Kuwait.

  6. A.O.A I AM ASIF FROM PAKISTAN. I APPLY DEPENDENT VISA FOR KUWAIT ON DATED 16-09-2010. THE VISA WAS FIRST TIME ISSUE BUT HAVING A OBJECTION OF PASSPORT , THE MANAGEMENT SAID THAT SEND THE CLEAR PASSPORT COPY. I SUMBIT THE PASSPORT COPY ON DATED 24-03-2011 IN AMAN DOLA. NOW THE VISA IS IN PROCESS IN AMAN DOLA.BUT I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT KUWAIT HAS BAN ON VISA, ALSO READ THE REPORT OF FO. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS MATTER; IS KUWAIT HAS A BAN OR NOT ,IF THEY BAN THAN I GET VISA OR NOT.
    THANKS.

  7. A.O.A ANY ONE KNOW WHNE THE PAKISTANI VISA WILL OPEN.I WENT TO SALMIYA OFFICE YESTERDAY THEY SAID PAKISTANIES ARE TOTALY BAN.

  8. I dont know why pakistani FO peoples and even pakistani embassy wants to hide a truth. As everyone in kuwait knows kuwait ban visas for 5 countries.. let anyone of them will go to the imegration office and ask them for visa then these peoples would know visas are baned or no.

  9. when pakistani family visas are open in kuwait ?
    plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me…..i beg uuu…..plzzz…..mujhe koi tu bataado….. !!

      • brother plz tell me work visas are open or is not open then have u any idea when kuwait open viisas

  10. All sorts of visa have been banned for Pakistan by Kuwaiti government, which is 100% true. Pakistani officials are lying and anxious to show people the other side of the picture.
    Shame on Pakistani Government.

  11. After reading all comments; Don,t you feel guys that there is some mistake from outside.There should be institution from government or private . who can tell us when we are going abroad ; how we have to behave in other countries. There is some reason that every country is banning visas for Pakistanis.There should me some session with foreign or human resource management center, when we apply for visa or passport in this aspect.How we should behave in other countries and how we can play our role not only for the betterment of the target country and more specific for Pakistan. No doubt Our embassies are just bullshit ; they even create more problems for Pakistanis in spite helping them.
    Like in other aspects of life ; I think this is time . We should asses ourselves also , why every country is allowing Indian and accepting them .we should also consider this aspect ; how we are representing ourselves in other countries ,how we live in those countries as a citizen, Do we obey their laws and cultures limitations.
    May be there are many negative answers and may some one stand with me .

  12. oh bhai even the families who are here in kuwait and their visa process was half way. they even cnt stay now here as they have issued visa from pakistan and they gave entry here in kuwait. finished medical process, fingures and health insurance every thng is done and now they are saying you cnt get residency permit due to this shit. shame on us bhai and specially the embassy and embassador here in kuwait because he is still sleeping and saying there is no alarming situation yet. they all are incompetent bhai…

  17. I HATE BLOODY PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT BEKUX OF PAKISTANI, A 16 YEARS OLD GURL, WIDOUT HER FAMILY, IS ABOUT TO DIE … I JUST HATEE YEWW PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT ….!!!!

  18. 1) Liar Pakistani FO
    2) Useless Pakistani embassy in Kuwait
    3) Useless government of Pakistan
    4) Nearly every family is now suffering due to these visa ban as vacations are starting and we cant even call our loved ones here.
    5) Stop voting for PPP, you dumb Pakistanis

  19. As of today i.e. June 15, 2011, Kuwait is not even stamping residence (Iqama) for those familities including children and infants who had entered legally and passed through all legal requirement to stamp residence (Iqama), i.e. Medical and Finger prints.etc..A lot of Pakistani familiies including my family now a days very tense because without any reason Kuwait Immigration is not stamping residence. Its a worrisome situation in Kuwait for Paksitanis. We have approached Pakistan Embassy in Kuwait but they are just useless and are not doing anything. We have also phoned tried to Approach Ms. Hina Rabbani Khar-Minister of State but we could not reach her. We have sent faxes to Mr. Manzoor-ul-Haq-Director General-Middle East Affairs for oversease Pakistanis-Islamabad but no use. We have also appealed thru the official website of President Zardari but no action taken. Seems like no Pakistani Government exists..no care for Pakistanis..no respect of Pakistanis..PPP's government is just useless…we are very much disappointed and there is no one to help…

  46. Respected Sir, I want to get information I heard that Respected state of Kuwait stopped the visa for Pakistani national. Is it true

  47. kuwait visa is baned for Pakistanis……..we cannt meet our loved ones i request the kuwait contry plzzzz open visas for Pak….

  49. How Kuwait embassy in Islamabad refuse this news. We are here sitting in Kuwait & have updates. Even we are visiting immegration office in Kuwait & they says "Pakistan Working, Family, Visit, Family Visit, Commecal Visit" all are ban. This is our Pakistani Govt. responsibility to follow the subjected matter……

  52. Dear All,

    Kuwait lifts the ban on all type of visa for pakistani nationals on last wednesday 19 Oct 2011 but impose the ban again on very next day mean on thursday 20 Oct 2011. so the ban is currently in place again as it was lift for 4 hrs only. our govt. has no gutts to ask Kuwait govt. that why the put ban again when they lift the ban after almost 7, 8 years.

  53. My dearest Pakistanis don’t trust our corrupt Govt. bcoz Pakistani visa are banned since 2 years & now all kind of visa are banned including family visa. Our Prim Minister yousuf reza gillani & our world top corrupt President Zardari visited few months ago but didn’t help to solve the problem Top reasons to banned Pakistani visa

    1-(main top reason) most favorite our brother’s khans/pathans/pakistani passport holder’s Afghanis always bring drugs to Kuwait.

    2-there was news in Kuwait about some people were trying to enter in Kuwait illegal from losted path gumrah taliban’s areas.

    3-Indians entered in Kuwaitis life by following yes sir & doing all kind of work including…. & they don’t want pakis to be in Kuwait.

    4-Our Govt. is not building good relation wid kuwait & not giving any importance seriously to solve these issues.

    bcoz of these reasons no paki can have job in Kuwait no family person can come to help their sick relatives like old mother or women delivery cases or no father/mother can come to Kuwait to go for huj with their son.

  54. Dear all i appreciate every one on Contributing on Kuwait Visa's Problem for Pakistanis, As i Know from Lot of my friends Working in Oil and Gas Field Kuwait Visas for All Pakistanis is banned Since last one and half Year. And Till today its not opened . I dont know why our Foreign office Lying and Dont take Serious action.

  62. hello plz open kuwait visa i am 8 year old lived in pakistani school hostel now i want to go back kuwait with my family i m alone in pakistan bt i cannot go back due to visa baned plz help me

  65. Our Embassies and MOFA eithier remain Unaware of the situation or they are simply lying.

    I had been working in Kuwait as a Petroleum engineer for almost 6 years. In Feb 2009, they imposed a ban and didn't give me renewal simply saying ban on visas for Pakistan and it is a blacklisted country. Another of my friend living there and was trying to bring his old parents under medical reasons but the case was simply refused. The company tried in both of our cases hard but useless. Later, I moved to other GCC country.

    Kuwait is a little country in a gulf with rich in Oil resources and expats go there for work. But every now and then they put Pakistan's passport on the visa ban list. They never had good relations with Pakistan and Pakistani govt is not trying to make with them either..

    Although not many criminal case history is proved in Kuwait by Pakistanis but its just there way to measure everyone with a same scale.

    Regards,

    Asad

  67. hellow,
    sir I am Hassan Ali Sahah for karachi pakistan,and i am a mechanical engineer and now i want to work with kuqait engineering companies well my question is how i will get the kuwait visit visa,
    sir why you will ban the kuwait visit visa only for pakistani nations why i want to your answer and i will wait for your positive reply.
    Thanks.

  68. well this news is totally false news, as m living in kuwait and there are no new visa for work, visit and family they are issueing. its been more then one year that they have banned the visa for pakistani. And our government is not taking any action on this as like they dont care about anything.

  70. AOA I A, YASEEEN TARIQ FROM PAKISTAN .MY QUESTION IS WHEN KUWAIT GOVT.OPEN VISA FOR PAKISTAN .PLZ TELL ME ABOUT THIS?

  71. i m from pakistan.i am merried girl my husband is from india now he is working in kuwait i want to go to my husband but because of visa ban for pakistani i cant meet my husband.please for God sake open family visa for kuwait for pakistani.i cant live without of my husband please do something i will bee very thank full to u

  72. It is 100% true that kuwait has banned visas for Pakistani nationals. No1 is able to get a visit, family and work visa. I tried myself for my wife but unable to do so, even i work in the biggest petrochemical company and rejected many times from Ahmadi Immigration dept. Pakistan Govt. and Ambassador in Kuwait is not playing their role to help Pakistani nations and our economy as well. India is taking lead in all the organizations to increase their manpower and Pakistanis are suffering with lack of our govt. support.
    Ask Kuwaiti Ambassador in Pakistan to provide evidence of how many visas they have issued comparatively 2010?
    PM Gilani and Pr. Zardari visited twice in 2011 but useless visit for country but may be good for them.
    May Allah bless our country to have honest leaders. amen

  81. To Ansar, I agree, what a great idea! Do what ever you can do to make this country (Pakistan) a better place, so others will want to come there. Hard work never has killed anyone. Stop giving and taking bribe. Help other and read translation of Quran and use Quran as a book of guidance to do good on this earth. Remember we are only here for short period for Trials and Tests. If we all look at our characters and change it to what our prophet's characters was. This country and world will become a better place for you and me.
    So to All the Pakistanis Work hard in what ever you do and success will come to you. All the best.

  82. My family is also a victim of visa ban, i don't know when this shit will lift fom pakistanis.. Any idea..any rumur or any news …
