Citizens from five Muslim-majority countries will no longer be able to obtain Kuwaiti visas, after reports the Gulf state issued tight entry restrictions that mirrored US President Donald Trump's Muslim ban.

Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans will not be able to obtain visit, tourism or trade Kuwaiti visas with the news coming one day after the US slapped its own restrictions on seven Muslim-majority countries.

Passport holders from the countries will no lot be allowed to enter the Gulf state while the blanket ban is in place and have been
told not to apply to visas.

Kuwaiti sources told local media that the restrictions were in place due to the "instability" in the five countries and that the ban would be lifted once the security situation improves.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have all witnessed violence from extremist groups, while Syria and Iraq are embroiled in internal conflicts.

Although mainly peaceful, tensions between Iran and the Gulf have ratched up over the past year with the GCC powers accusing Tehran of attempting to destabalise the region.

Kuwait is concerned about the threat of extremist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group with both militant organisations have a presence in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Gulf state has witnessed a number of militant attacks over the past two years, including the bombing of a Shia mosque in 2015 which left 27 Kuwaits dead.

Kuwait responded by arresting dozens of suspected Daesh sympathizers and rolling out mandatary DNA testing programme and database for the Gulf state's 4 million population.

Kuwait reportedly issued a ban on all visas for Syrians in 2011, but allowed those inside the country to remain.

It made Kuwait the only country in the world to officially bar entry to Syrians, until the US named Syria in seven countries banned from entering.

Kuwait has issued a number of laws targeting foreigners in recent years, and made it one of the most unfriendly Gulf states towards expatriates.

In 2015, Kuwait was named as the worst place in the world for expatriates in a 64 country InterNations survey.

Meanwhile, Trump's Muslim ban has been met with widespread outrage since it was signed on Friday, although Gulf states have remained quiet on the issue.

Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan outraged Syrians and other nationalities included in the ban when he publically backed Trump's decision.

That's a lie. Terrorists did it. Assad should've accepted the political reforms in the first days of demands of his people but after a delay in his decision west misused the situation and entered it's mercenaries through Northern countries into Syria.
Currently Syrian people are protecting Assad to fight terrorism and elected him for second time. The elections were held under UN's support and many countries had their representatives during the elections. Syrians need Assad to get rid of terrorism. Enough said

Afghans ? Yes put everything on others and close the eyes without facing reality

Hint: Trump's travel ban isn't a "Muslim ban".

His primary focus is Muslim countries...He is playing dirty...The Muslim countries he didn't ban are also about to go through extreme vetting, he said.....

Moreover, he exempted Jews living in those Muslim majority nations...His words are encouraging @ssholes to come out in open more confidently and attack Muslims...

Mosque in Texas has been burnt down...In your country, Canada, 6 men of Muslim faith got killed in a mosque...

Note : I have nothing against Jews.

Afghans ? Yes put everything on others and close the eyes without facing reality

As far as I have read, ban on Pakistanis come into place after Afghan refugees, with fake identity of Pakistan, got arrested in Kuwait due to some serious crime, which led Kuwaiti authorities to ban Pakistan...
