MoJ clarifies property rights for individuals whose nationalities were withdrawn
A new directive has been issued to protect property rights for individuals whose nationality was revoked. The measure follows Cabinet Resolution No. 913, which ensures certain rights remain intact even after citizenship is withdrawn. Officials have now begun enforcing the decision in real estate transactions.
The Real Estate Registration Department received formal instructions to implement the policy. Acting Undersecretary Awatif Al-Sanad issued a circular outlining the steps for employees. The directive clarifies that affected individuals can still manage or sell private homes they owned before losing their nationality.
The resolution specifically covers those who had their citizenship revoked under the 'distinguished deeds' provision. Their property rights, established before the withdrawal, will not be affected by the change in status. The department must now ensure compliance with the updated guidelines.
The circular marks a clear step in applying Cabinet Resolution No. 913. Those impacted by nationality withdrawal retain control over previously owned residences. The policy takes effect immediately across all relevant real estate offices.
