What is required to put a travel ban on somebody...

Dear Customer
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that

Travel Bans are legal prohibitions the Kuwaiti government imposes to prevent persons involved in disputes from departing the country.  They can be the result of any sort of civil or criminal dispute or immigration violation.  They are not normally lifted until the matter at issue, i.e., the civil suit, criminal case, or immigration violation is settled. 

A travel ban can result from any number of causes.  For example, civil courts in Kuwait can (and do) impose travel bans over financial disputes.  Such disputes might include disputes between business partners, between borrowers and lenders, landlords and tenants, or lessors and lessees.

Or due to their non-payment of fines pertaining to traffic, commerce or municipality offences

If a financial dispute is the basis of the travel ban, it may be possible to get the ban lifted by depositing a sum of money equal to the amount in dispute with the court.

The Kuwait Prosecutors office may also impose travel bans on individuals while it is conducting criminal investigations in order to prevent them from leaving the country.  The Ministry of the Interior will also impose travel bans on those who violate their visa status by overstaying, or work without authorization.  These bans will not usually be lifted until the case at issue is concluded.  People who have travel bans for immigration violations will sometimes also find themselves in deportation proceedings.
