The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) announced that expats who have spent 14 consecutive days in countries which are not on the banned list are granted entry to Kuwait.<\/p>\n

This is to clarify the earlier release that announced an expanded list of 31 countries from where expats are currently prohibited from entering Kuwait.<\/p>\n

For example, an Indian can travel to Kuwait following the health precautionary measures if she has spent 14 days in a country not named in the list of 31 banned countries.<\/p>\n

Kuwait expanded the list of banned countries, prohibiting entry of travelers from these to Kuwait, as commercial flights resume at the airport today.
\nThe following countries are:<\/p>\n

  1. India<\/li>\n
