Kuwait Extends Private Driving Licence Validity
Kuwait has extended the validity of private driving licence to 15 years for Kuwaitis and GCC citizens, and five years for expatriate residents, Al Anba Arabic daily reported. Sheikh Fahad Yousef Al Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, issued a ministerial decision extending the validity of driving licence for both citizens, GCC nationals and expatriate residents, marking a significant change to the country's licencing rules. Under the new regulations, the validity of licences for expatriates has been increased to five years, up from three. Licences for Kuwaiti citizens and Gulf nationals will now be valid for 15 years instead of 10. For stateless residents, the licence term will remain tied to the validity of their identification documents. The duration of licences for Kuwaitis had traditionally been 10 years, while for expatriates it was reduced at one point to a single year. Several months ago, Sheikh Fahad Al Sabah extended expatriate licence validity to three years, the new announcement pushes it to five years with immediate effect. Kuwait maintains strict conditions for expatriates seeking a driving licence, including a requirement to hold a university degree. New arrivals are eligible to apply only after residing in the country legally for two years. Source Gulf News

Netflix Inks First Middle East Content Bundle Deal With MBC Group
Netflix has entered into its first regional partnership of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), teaming up with MBC Group to offer a combined streaming bundle alongside Shahid, MBC's Arabic-language video-on-demand service. The collaboration brings Netflix content to MBCNOW, a new entertainment platform launched earlier this year by MBC Group. The bundled subscription will give users access to Netflix, Shahid, and MBC's live TV channels under a single payment plan — a first in the region for the US-based streaming giant. This strategic tie-up represents a significant move for Netflix in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf market, where competition in digital streaming has intensified amid rising local demand for both Arabic and global content. The bundled subscription will be sold in Saudi Arabia through major retailers and e-commerce platforms, with MBC stating that the plan offers more than 20% in cost savings compared to purchasing separate Netflix and Shahid subscriptions. The MENA region has long been a high-growth market for streaming services, with consumers increasingly favouring digital content hubs that blend local and international viewing. By joining forces with MBC — the region's largest media company — Netflix is positioning itself to tap deeper into Arabic-speaking households, particularly in the Gulf. 'This collaboration is part of our ongoing commitment to provide unparalleled global and local experiences for our audiences in the region,' said Bhanu Chaddha, Director of Distribution and TV Products at MBC Group. Mohammed Al Kuraishi, Head of Business Development and Partnerships, Middle East and Africa at Netflix, added that the move would bring users 'easy access to our service and an incredible variety of international and Arabic shows, movies, documentaries, and more.' MBCNOW, launched in February 2025, functions as an aggregator platform and aims to bridge traditional broadcast and digital streaming under one interface. The addition of Netflix further positions it as a go-to content hub for Saudi and Arab audiences.

Kuwait Work Visa Scam Uncovered, 3 Arrested
In its latest crackdown on human trafficking and visa fraud, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has dismantled a work visa scam involving a Kuwaiti national who allegedly exploited his legal authority to profit from the illegal registration of expatriate workers. The Kuwaiti citizen is accused of running visa-for-cash scheme through dozens of shell companies, according to Al Qabas Arabic daily. The operation, uncovered in coordination with the General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations, revealed a complex network involving 25 companies and four affiliated businesses under the control of a single individual. The main suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, was authorised to sign on behalf of these firms, a privilege he allegedly used to register foreign workers under false pretences and sell residency permits. Officials said the scheme came to light following a tip-off. Investigators found that 56 workers had been registered under the companies, including several who had violated Kuwait's residency laws and visa regulations. Among them were individuals who were either working for entities not listed as their sponsors or had overstayed or breached the terms of their permits. When summoned for questioning, the accused admitted to accepting payments ranging from KD350 ($1,137) to KD1,200 in exchange for arranging visas and work permits. He confessed to working through two intermediaries — a Syrian and an Indian — who helped facilitate the transactions, despite the workers not being employed by the companies sponsoring their residency. Authorities say the case highlights the persistent challenges posed by visa trafficking in the country and underscores ongoing efforts to tighten oversight of corporate licencing as well as residency and work permits. The Ministry of Interior reiterated its commitment to enforcing the law and holding accountable those who exploit the labour system for personal gain.
