Pakistan’s ambassador in Kuwait says Kuwait hasn’t banned Pakistanis

Feb 4, 2017 9:38 am By Robert Spencer

“Earlier, a newspaper claimed that Kuwait has banned nationals from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

The ambassador denied that Kuwait had banned Pakistanis; it is unclear whether or not there is actually a ban in Kuwait on nationals from Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

An update on this story. “Pakistanis are welcome in Kuwait, says ambassador,” Khaleej Times, February 3, 2017:

Pakistan’s ambassador in Kuwait clarified that Kuwait hasn’t placed any visa ban on Pakistani nationals.

A Geo TV report quoted Ghulam Dastagir as saying that news on social media about the ban was baseless.

He added that same news had sprung up in 2011.

Earlier, a newspaper claimed that Kuwait has banned nationals from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. It claimed that the ban included on tourism, visit and trade visas as well as visas sponsored by spouses.

Sputnik International in a report had said that Kuwait suspended the issuance of visas for nationals of Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.

It said the Kuwaiti government told would-be migrants from the five banned nations to not apply for visas, as it is worried about the possible migration of radical Islamic terrorists.

Kuwait was the only nation to prohibit the entry of Syrian nationals prior to Trump’s executive action. Kuwait City previously issued a suspension of visas for all Syrians in 2011….

    During the reign of Obama, I distinctly recall an official of the Government of Kuwait saying that they (Kuwait) WILL NOT take in refugees from Syria.

    As to Pakistanis- they are probably allowed in, to work as laborers, or as cannon fodder.

    My guess.

    But, as to Iran- that would be Shia/Sunni warfare.

    Incidentally, I BELIEVE THAT KUWAIT ALSO BANS ISRAELI NATIONALS. (Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as other nations, also–16 Muslim nations, at least).

      “Incidentally, I BELIEVE THAT KUWAIT ALSO BANS ISRAELI NATIONALS. (Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as other nations, also–16 Muslim nations, at least).”

      Yup.

      What Islamic nation is taking on refugees?? Turkey may be holding a few, until they can ship them post haste to Europe…. The plan is simple, shove the Muslim hordes on us, and then the Islamic invasion is all taken care of, with the only blood shed is OURS!!

    If Kuwait doesn’t want terrorists why would Western countries.

    It is a fact pakistanis & bangladeshis are denied visas to Kuwait. No visit visas also for them. Those who have been working here before the ban however are allowed to stay , work , travel & return.

    In a way GCC countries are fortunate than India & America. The former do not depend on the votes of muslims of pakistan , India etc to stay in power. Whereas Indian politicians cannot but appease muslim vote bank to get elected. Which is the reason lots of illegal bangladeshis are allowed to enter & conferred citizenships too. Recently rohingya muslims too have been allowed entry into India. They were forbidden entry by fellow bangladeshis.

    In addition many muslims from Africa visit as “patients” to avail themselves of medical tourism. And do not leave. Marry some local muslims spawning forth many children. Security measures are very lax in India.

    Doctors like to show off as being beyond religion in India. So we find many pakistanis , bangladeshis & afghanis in Indian hospitals for various organ transplants. Where organs like liver , kidney etc are involved they are not averse to having those of Infidels fitted into their bodies. Doctors get to swell with self importance. This kind of warped policies by India has only endangered the lives of many Indian Army Personnel.

      Who (which group) benefits from the organs?
      Is the collection moral? (i.e. not coerced)

      • Janakiraman Rajalakshmi says

        Very difficult to find out if its is coerced or not.

        Apart from Indians those belonging to bangladesh & pakistan also are recipients of organs.
