Please note that the Ministry of Interior in Kuwait has stopped conducting biometric fingerprinting at all border points, including Kuwait International Airport, land borders, and seaports.
All Kuwaiti citizens and residents are now required to complete their biometric fingerprinting in advance at one of the designated Personal Identification Centers. The process will no longer be available at the airport or other entry/exit points.
This change aims to reduce congestion at border crossings and streamline travel procedures.
If your employees have not yet completed the biometric registration, please advise them to do so as soon as possible at an approved center before their next travel. Travellers who have not completed the biometric process may face delays or be unable to depart the country.
Please ensure that all your employees, assignees, and their dependents are aware of this requirement.
