The Ministry of Interior's (Mol) General Directorate of Residency announced on Saturday that it had arrested a gang of agents in Kuwait accused of selling residency visas fraudulently through fake companies.
In a significant operation aimed at combating illegal residency trade, the department successfully dismantled a gang of Syrian nationals involved in residency permit scam.
The gang created fictitious companies, engaged in forgery and tampered with official documents. This illicit operation allowed them to register and bring hundreds of workers into the country in exchange for substantial fees, charging up to 500 dinars for internal transfers and 2,000 dinars for recruiting workers from abroad.

The Ministry of Interior reiterated its commitment to addressing illegal residency trafficking with firm and severe measures. Officials warn that anyone attempting to engage in the trade of residency permits will face stringent consequences, underscoring the ongoing efforts to eliminate such unlawful practices in the country.
