The advisory was issued on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 signed by Raul H. Dado, Charge d’ Affaires, A.I.
To those readers in this blog that ask how to obtain travel document--the above advisory clearly explain how. The 10 steps mention in the above advisory (I rewrite for clarity) is quoted below.
“1. IF YOU HAVE LEGAL DOCUMENT, NO NEED TO WORRY.”
“2. IF YOU ARE OVERSTAYING, FOLLOW THE LAW OF THE HOST COUNTRY.”
“3. PREPARE YOUR TICKETS.”
“4. THE ONLY PROCEDURE FOR OVERSTAYERS IN KUWAIT IS TO TRANSIT THROUGH KUWAIT IMMIGRATION BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES.”
“5. FOR THE PURPOSE, THE EMBASSY WILL ISSUE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS FREE OF CHARGE.
6. YOU MAY GET THIS AT THE EMBASSY FROM MR, JOSEPH DE CLARO, MR. JOVEN CABANES OR MS. CATHERINE GISON.”
“7. YOU MAY PROCEED TO IMMIGRATION.”
“. IMMIGRATION MAY REQUEST THAT YOU RETURN TO THE EMBASSY. IN THAT CASE, GO TO THE EMBASSY TO REGISTER AND RETURN TO YOUR HOMES. THE EMBASSY WILL CALL YOU WHEN IMMIGRATION MAY RECEIVE YOU AGAIN.”
“9. THE EMBASSY DOES NOT CAUSE THE ARREST OR DEPORTATION OF ANYONE. IT MEETS WITH IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS TO SPEED UP PROCEDURES AND TO ENSURE GOOD FOOD, WATER AND MEDICINES AT IMMIGRATION CENTERS. KUWAIT IMMIGRATION OFFICERS HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE.”
“10. THE LAWS OF KUWAIT PROVIDE THE ABOVE PROCEDURES FOR OVERSTAYERS. ONLY THOSE WITH LEGAL CASES LIKE THEFT, ABSCONDING OR FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, TAKE LONG IN INVESTIGATION. WE ARE APPEALING THEIR CASES SO THEY WILL HAVE SHORTER STAY AFTER THEIR CASES ARE DISCUSSED.”
