Filipino nationals availing the amnesty are also advised not to proceed to the embassy during these dates but directly to the venues prescribed as no processing of documents of such nature are available and those who are not qualified to avail the program may not report to the processing area. The partial amnesty program has been launched by Kuwait with intentions to deport all illegals in the country, decongest jails and shelters.<\/p>\n
OWWA and POLO with support from the Philippine Embassy recently repatriated 253 Filipino nationals from Talha deportation, Public Authority for Manpower and Embassy shelter. The repatriation program was the Kuwait government\u2019s initiative to send Filipinos home from those institutions. Tickets and processing of documents have been sponsored fully by the Kuwait government. The Philippine Embassy, OWWA, and POLO laud and extend its gratitude to the Kuwait government for these privileges.<\/p>\n
