The Beninese government has put in place arrangements to facilitate the return of its nationals stranded or residing in the Gulf region to the West African country, according to an official statement on Saturday.

According to the statement, the Embassy of Benin in Kuwait City informed its nationals stranded or living in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that travel arrangements to Cotonou, the largest city of Benin, have been organized from airports in Saudi Arabia.

"In this context, the embassy invites those wishing to return to Benin to register and provide the details of their respective passports in order to obtain emergency entry visas for Saudi Arabia, which are necessary for their departure," the statement said.
