Why did they ban in the first place? Would be informative to know the reason for the ban.

Family, Business, Technical Visas have been restored.

So no tourist visa, work visa, student visa, visit visa?

I think and I might be wrong due to security concerns given the situation we were in 10 years ago. Thanks to Allah we clawed ourselves out.

The ban started in 1985 after a Brotherly Islamic Country Used Fake Pakistani Passports to gain entry into Kuwait and tried to kill the Emir of Kuwait at the time a lot of people died and ever since then. Kuwaitis have put strict visa policy with respect to Pakistan. It has never been a complete ban, there are time when policy is loosened to allow some killed labor to come. The most recent bans were put in place in 2011 and then 2017. Pakistanis can still get visas, but there are more security checks and fewer visas are issued due to this.

Kuwait lifts Family and Business visa on Pakistani Nationals after 10 years.

After a decade-long suspension, Kuwait announced an "immediate" resumption of different visas including in family and business categories for Pakistani citizens.

Kuwait had banned work visas for #Pakistan in 2011 and despite attempts by previous governments the restrictions could not be lifted. In March 2017, the then government had also announced the lifting of the ban by Kuwait during the visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the oil-rich country. However, the decision was never implemented.

Issues of mutual interest, including Pakistan-Kuwait bilateral relations, came under discussion during the meeting. The interior minister raised the visa issue with the Kuwaiti prime minister, suspended for Pakistani citizens since 2011.

Now there will be no restrictions on technical visas in medical and oil fields and Pakistanis living in Gulf countries will now be able to come to Kuwait with an online visa, according to the statement.

Which Brotherly Country?

Pak is surrounded by tons of such "brotherly" countries....

Turkey is rather practical in this regard!! Turkey is surrounded by seas on three sides, but enemies on four sides....

Now we need to purge all those Afghans with fake nadra cards to avoid getting hit with a ban again.
