Lebanese Residents of Bahrain Prevented from Entering Kuwait without Visas
The Lebanese embassy in Bahrain has informed the Lebanese residing in the Gulf country that they should obtain visas before entering Kuwait.
The embassy said in a circular that Kuwaiti authorities have taken new measures that prevent Lebanese with residencies from any Gulf Cooperation Council country from entering Kuwait without visas.
“That’s why, the Lebanese residing in the Kingdom of Bahrain should from now on obtain visas from the Kuwaiti embassy in Manama,” the circular said.
Anti-regime rallies have engulfed Bahrain as the first major Arab protests to reach the Gulf after uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
Demonstrators are seeking wide-ranging political changes, including breaking the monarchy's grip on appointing top government posts.
