Citizenship revocation decrees in Kuwait and Egypt

Overview

In October 2026, both Kuwait and Egypt issued government decrees involving the revocation of citizenship.

In Kuwait, the Council of Ministers approved four decrees revoking the citizenship of 12 individuals, citing the Kuwaiti Nationality Law and relevant Amiri Orders. These decisions, which took effect on October 11, 2026, also extend the loss of citizenship to any individuals who had acquired it through dependency on the named persons.

In Egypt, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly issued 22 new decrees, which included the revocation of citizenship for three individuals. The reasons cited for these revocations included acquiring foreign citizenship without prior permission, joining foreign military service without authorization, and joining a foreign entity deemed to be working to undermine the state’s social and economic system.
