2/19/2025
The Iraqi Ambassador to Kuwait, Al-Manhal Al-Safi, announced his thanks to Kuwait for the decision to include Iraqi citizens in electronic tourist entry visas starting yesterday, Tuesday.
Al-Safi said in a statement to reporters on the sidelines of his attendance at the Japanese embassy’s celebration of the National Day: “This step comes as a culmination of the efforts made by the Iraqi embassy in the country in cooperation with the Kuwaiti authorities, and it also came against the backdrop of the success achieved during the Gulf Cup Football Championship {Gulf 26}, noting that this step aims to strengthen bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries.”
Regarding the mechanism for obtaining visas, Al-Safi explained that the same mechanism adopted by the Kuwaiti authorities for the entry of Iraqi tourists with a tourist visa has been adopted, adding, “It can be obtained by entering the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior website {Kuwait Visa} and filling out all the requirements for the entry visa, including the availability of a hotel reservation, or an address within the State of Kuwait.”
He added, “The validity period of entry with a tourist visa will be one month by land or air.”
On the other hand, the Iraqi ambassador praised the results of the eighth meeting of the Technical Legal Committee, which was held last Sunday in Kuwait in a positive atmosphere, noting that the meeting was held according to the agreed upon mechanism to hold it periodically every two months in the capitals of the two brotherly countries, as the previous meeting was held in Baghdad.
He stressed that the meetings are ongoing and take their time, and that each meeting produces new horizons, noting that pushing these negotiations forward reflects the desire of the two brotherly countries to move forward in drawing the roadmap. LINK

Saleh on television…he says the Iraqi dinar will regain its strength and the exchange rate will return to balance sooner or later. FRANK: This is the Finance Minister telling the Iraqi citizens, ‘Hey, the Iraqi dinar will regain its strength’. So you’re trying to tell us that 1310 is going to be soon removed… 1310 is an imbalanced rate. What is balanced? IMO anything at 1 to 1 and above… FIREFLY: He also said this decision depends on completing the methodology of the financial and banking reforms. FRANK: Consider this the final countdown.
