The Ministry of Interior in Kuwait has stopped conducting biometric fingerprinting at all border points, including Kuwait International Airport, land borders, and seaports.

Key Details:

• All Kuwait citizens and residents are now required to complete their biometric fingerprinting in advance at one of the designated Personal Identification Centers.
• This service will no longer be available at the airport or other entry/exit points.

Why This Change?
• The change aims to reduce congestion at border crossings and streamline travel procedures.

Travel Advisory:

• Travelers who haven’t completed the biometric process may face delays or could be unable to depart.

Action Required:

• Employees who haven’t completed their biometric registration should do so as soon as possible at an approved center before traveling.
• Ensure all employees, assignees, and dependents are aware of this requirement.
