Sir,
With I'efereaoe to ycur letter no. 3*0.1320, dated
the 37th October 1932, I have the honour to state that
His Excellency the Shaihii of Kuwait has intimated that
to ieet the wishes of the Iraq Government he is prepared,
on a basis of reciprocity, to abolish the rule requiring
Iraq Nationals departing from Kuwait to obtain "departure
visas" on their passports, and is taking steps to bring
the change into effect forthwith#
2. ./ill travellers leaving the walled town of Kuwait
are, however, required to import their intended departure
at the office of the Shaikh of Kuwait’s secretary, situated
in the centre of the nain bazaar. '"hey are there given,
free of charge, a pass, which is collected by the guard at
the Town Gate. This is merely a precautionary police
regulation unconnected with passports, and will continue
to apply to Iraqis as to other travellers.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
four most obedient servant,
