I know its nearly impossible but I do hope there is some way please don't say me to marry a Kuwaiti girl because as far as I know by having my life time experience in Kuwait no Kuwaiti girl ever married a Pakistani

Btw my father arrived in Kuwait in 1977 if that helps

Thanks in Advance

Hi and welcome to Expat.com Mohammad323!

It's very very hard to get Kuwaiti Nationality, Even some people who deserves the nationality as they were born in Kuwait and lived here for more than 50 years can't get it (You may heard about "Budoons" who are suffering to get the nationality)

Even if you marry a Kuwaiti woman you won't get the nationality , you'll only get permanent residence in Kuwait according to the Kuwaiti law.

In Kuwaiti Law you can get the nationality if you have present some " very great" value for the Kuwait state! and of course this happens only one in million and need an approval from Minister of Interior himself!

I'm sorry to frustrating you but it's the truth.

unfortunately no chance, as madoo said, its not only "bedoons" who have been born and lived here for 50 years, there are many others with other nationalities too. sure u can apply, but u'll never get it.

so bottom line; dont tire yourself over thinking about it, as the only way to get it is by doing something great for the community, and then even u have to fit certain criteria. i'll give u an example: what's the biggest bank in Kuwait? who's the biggest head there? whats his nationality?

sorry, no chance.

its better to get a bahraini or an Emirati passport and live in the GCC.i think this would give some benefits equivalent to haveing a nationality.maybe,havent done a research.

My Father arrived in Kuwait in 1956 and he was also the part of first census in Kuwait done 1965 my father worked for the Sabah family and then after wards he joined Ministry of Electric and water he got retired in 1996 and was under my sponsor ship. I was born in Kuwait in 1973 and i am still in Kuwait and my son who is also born in Kuwait in year 2000 also is in Kuwait. my sisters and brother were also born in Kuwait.

Brother it is near impossible to get Kuwaiti citizenship.

So you decide now what to do.
