Government of India has advised its nationals working in Kuwait to comply with local residency and visa laws as a number of expatriates have been arrested for overstaying and other violations.
Indian Embassy in Kuwait said in a statement that there are reports about expatriates holding domestic worker visa being arrested as they were working in construction/private sectors, in violation of residency/visa rules.
According to the embassy, it will continue to issue travel documents to Indians facing deportation, particularly to those whose passport could not be retrieved from their sponsors.
During the last four months 2,220 Emergency Certificates were issued by the Indian Embassy to facilitate repatriation of Indian nationals in detention in Kuwait.
The number of Indians living legally in Kuwait has crossed 800,000, the largest expatriate community in the Arab country.
