Vaccinated Gulf citizens can enter Kuwait

Kuwaiti government announced that vaccinated Gulf citizens can now enter Kuwait.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that passengers who have two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can enter the country.

After seven months of not being allowed into Kuwait, as of August 1, expats are now free to travel to the country as long as they have two doses of an approved vaccine and a valid residency permit.

The passengers are required to show a negative PCR test conducted 72 hours before arrival.

However, direct travel between India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal is still banned. Passengers travelling from those countries need to be quarantined in a non-banned country for 14-days before they arrive in Kuwait.

All passengers need to download and register on the Kuwait Mosafer application and upload all the necessary documents.
