Expats prevented from travelling as data mismatch with ministry system

Ministry of Interior prevented some expatriates from leaving the country because the information recorded in their passports do not match that in the ministry’s system.

According to report, Director-General of Kuwait Airport Security Major General Walid Al-Saleh said airport security officers discovered that the data recorded in some passports of expatriates differ from the data stored in the database of Ministry of Interior.

The expatriates, in such cases, are required to check with the General Department for Residency Affairs to amend their data so that they can travel.
