Expats will be allowed to return to Kuwait once the country’s airport reopens on August 1st in accordance with the government plan to gradually restart commercial flights. Arrivals to Kuwait will require a certified PCR test certificate proving their coronavirus free status at the airport. The health certificate cost is expected to be between KD10 to 20 dinars but the Directorate General of Civil Aviation is likely to standardize those fees following approval from the ground services and the Ministry of Health.
Returnees to Kuwait, both Kuwaitis and expats, will have to visit health centers accredited by Kuwait embassies abroad for a health certificate 4 days prior to their departure. There is no need to contact Kuwait consulates or Embassies to obtain any documents, as it will lead to unnecessary overcrowding at the embassies abroad.
The Shlonik app is available for citizens and expatriates returning from abroad, and is a requirement for installation set by Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health will announce an accredited health laboratory at the Kuwait Airport for departures to acquire a health certificate approved by the Ministry of Health to certify they are free from coronavirus, which is the responsibility of the ground services companies at Kuwait International Airport.
