The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior has announced the temporary suspension of biometric fingerprinting at all air, land, and sea border crossings. The decision comes amid efforts to streamline travel procedures and reduce congestion at major entry points, including Kuwait International Airport. Travellers—both citizens and expatriates—are now required to complete biometric registration in advance at designated identification centres rather than at the border itself. The move is expected to speed up clearance and improve passenger experience during high-traffic travel periods. Authorities have urged all residents to ensure their biometric data is registered to avoid future travel delays.
