Kuwait: Over 8,000 expats deported in first half of 2021

In the first six months of 2021, around 8,000 expats have been deported from Kuwait due to several reasons, local media reported.

One of the main reasons is expired residency permits. Meanwhile, others were deported for being involved in misdemeanours and felonies.

Currently, there are around 700 expats in the deportation centre, awaiting departure as they are unable to travel back to their home countries due to airport closures.

Some countries, like the Philippines, have provided chartered airplanes for their nationals to travel back home.
