Kuwaiti Citizenship Act
Cabinet of Kuwait
  • An Act relating to a Kuwaiti citizenship
Enacted byGovernment of Kuwait
Status: Current legislation

The Kuwaiti nationality law is the legal pathway for non-nationals to become citizens of the State of Kuwait. The Kuwaiti nationality law is based on a wide range of decrees; first passed in 1920 and then in 1959 and 1960. A number of amendments have been made over the years. Since the 1960s, the implementation of the nationality law has been very arbitrary and lacks transparency.[1][2] The lack of transparency prevents non-nationals from receiving a fair opportunity to obtain citizenship.[2]
