As per the cabinet decision, non-Kuwaitis are allowed to enter the country if they have completed the vaccination from their country with one of the MoH-approved vaccines.
The auditing of uploaded certificates includes examining the data in the certificate and verifying the authenticity of the certificate.
The audit process takes a longer time in some countries, including Arab and Asian countries, sources said quoting MoH sources. All certificates that do not meet the required data or that do not carry a barcode, or having suspicion of forgery are rejected by the authority, sources said.
