MoF Organises Workshop on Cabinet Resolutions Related to Outsourcing and Instalment of Debt Collection from Federal Entities
Workshop aims to enhance collection efficiency and support financial sustainability across federal entities In a step aimed at enhancing the efficiency of debt collection and supporting financial sustainability across federal entities, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) organised a specialised workshop in Dubai to discuss the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. (14) and Cabinet Resolution No. (15) of 2025, concerning the outsourcing and instalment of the collection of debts owed to federal entities. The workshop was attended by directors of financial and legal affairs from various federal entities, as well as representatives from the Ministry's Government Revenue and Legal Affairs departments. The session comes as part of the Ministry's ongoing commitment to supporting federal entities in their capacity as creditors and parties responsible for the collection of dues, and to familiarise them with the mechanisms and procedures that allow for greater flexibility in implementing these resolutions. This, in turn, contributes to improving the efficiency of financial collections and raising levels of compliance, in line with Federal Decree-Law No. (15) of 2024. H.E. Saeed Rashid Al Yateem, Assistant Undersecretary for the Government Budget and Revenue Sector at the Ministry of Finance said: 'This workshop reflects the Ministry of Finance's commitment to enhancing transparency and efficiency in managing federal financial resources by empowering entities to implement the Cabinet resolutions on debt collection in a flexible and financially governed manner. Implementing outsourcing and instalment mechanisms is an important step toward advancing the federal financial system and ensuring financial sustainability. At the Ministry, we are keen to provide full support to federal entities and equip them with the tools and mechanisms needed to ensure the swift and effective implementation of these resolutions, thereby strengthening confidence in the federal financial system.' The workshop featured a detailed explanation of the legal and regulatory frameworks related to the Cabinet Resolutions, in addition to discussions around proposed execution models for outsourcing and instalment. The session also addressed how to integrate these mechanisms into the financial systems and procedures of federal entities. Furthermore, it provided a platform to respond to participants' queries and facilitated knowledge exchange among the various concerned parties.

Kuwaiti Women Granted Temporary Travel Rights Amid Citizenship Revocation
The Kuwaiti government will allow women who lost their citizenship under Article 8 of the nationality law to travel temporarily using their former Kuwaiti passports, the Ministry of Interior has announced. The measure, which takes effect from June 1 through September 30, 2025, aims to ease the legal status adjustment process for a group that has long existed in a bureaucratic and humanitarian limbo. According to the Ministry, the initiative supports 'the regularization of legal status' for affected women, but comes with strict conditions and deadlines. All individuals must comply fully with the outlined procedures, with no exceptions granted for those whose Kuwaiti citizenship has been revoked. Under the new policy, impacted individuals must begin the process of obtaining valid travel documents—either from their country of original nationality or another internationally recognized passport that permits legal residency in Kuwait. While international travel using the old Kuwaiti passport will be permitted for only four months, the overall legal adjustment period extends for one year, ending on May 31, 2026. However, to retain eligibility for state benefits and support, individuals must initiate the process within the first three months of the period. Proof of intent, such as an official passport application or embassy request, must be submitted to the authorities. Failure to demonstrate serious intent or delays in action will result in the loss of benefits. The Ministry also clarified that filing for legal status adjustment does not preclude an individual from submitting a formal grievance. Appeals may be filed with the Grievance Committee for Withdrawal, Forfeiture, and Loss of Kuwaiti Citizenship, formed under Cabinet Resolutions No. 207 and 493 of 2025. Once a person's legal status is regularised, a new civil ID will be issued. This document will reflect the individual's updated nationality and include a note specifying 'Kuwaiti individual treatment in accordance with established regulations.' The policy is designed to 'simplify the transition process' while ensuring fair access to any benefits individuals may still be eligible for under the law.
