The Ministry of Interior in Kuwait declared on Wednesday that all transactions for both citizens and expatriates will cease if individuals have not completed biometric fingerprinting.
Appointments must be scheduled through the Sahel application, and English speakers are advised to use the Meta app before visiting designated fingerprinting centers. Walk-ins without prior appointments will be denied service.
The deadline for citizens to complete their fingerprinting has been extended to September 30, 2024, while expatriates have until December 30, 2024, to comply.
