The Indian embassy made a formal announcement Wednesday saying that all the Indian who are seeking to travel back to their country must fill out a form so that their details can be registered with the embassy in case of any misinformations.

The announcement is in line with the decision of the Kuwaiti administration to start allowing non-Kuwaiti travellers to coe to the country starting August 1 after imposing a country wide ban of six months.

But the travelers will only be allowed to enter the country when they show their vaccines certificate ensuring that they have been administered two doses of vaccines. Till now, the country has announced that it accepts people who are administered with Pfizer-BioNTech, Oxford-AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson only.
