Decision to ban entry of expat remains – ARAB TIMES – KUWAIT NEWS – Arab Times Kuwait English Daily

KUWAIT CITY, May 12: The decision to ban the entry of expatriates to the country remains in effect, as the Council of Ministers did not mention lifting the ban in its recent decisions, reports Al-Rai daily quoting reliable sources. According to the council, only citizens and their first-degree relatives who traveled abroad are permitted to enter the country; while the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said Kuwait International Airport is currently operating at only 10 percent of its capacity, sources disclosed. Sources added expatriates and Kuwaitis are permitted to depart from Kuwait International Airport, but they are obligated to register on the travel platform ‘Kuwait Mosafer’ and citizens must be vaccinated.
