Expatriates Can Return To Kuwait Without Biometric Fingerprinting

A reliable security source has confirmed that expatriates are permitted to return to Kuwait without having undergone biometric fingerprinting, debunking rumors circulating to the contrary. Contrary to speculation suggesting expatriates might face entry denials after the June 1st deadline set by the Ministry of Interior for biometric fingerprinting, the source clarified that such rumors are baseless.

According to the source, the timeframe provided by the Ministry of Interior allows citizens and residents ample opportunity to undergo the required fingerprinting procedure. While failure to comply may result in the suspension of transactions with the Ministry of Interior, it will not bar individuals from entering the country.

Expatriates who haven't completed the fingerprinting process will be obliged to do so upon their return, either at the airport or at designated fingerprinting centers across Kuwait's six governorates and shopping centers. The source emphasized that the biometric data collected is a one-time procedure, digitally stored to facilitate security verification and to permanently prevent the entry of deported or banned individuals.
