Introduction
It was but a month or two ago that the possibility of
non-Muslims being able to obtain citizenship in Kuwait was being
considered in the country. The country does have a citizenship law
which was initially published in 1959, though it has received
numerous edits and alterations through the years.
In more recent years, the idea has been that to obtain
citizenship, an individual either must have a mother who is
Kuwaiti, along with smaller requirements such as the knowledge of
the Arabic language and a legal line of work to name a few of the
conditions. Other than this, individuals who spend long periods
working within the country, or make significant economic
contributions within the nations may have the ability to obtain
citizenship. However, one key element that was required was that
one would have to be a Muslim to get the citizenship.
