KUWAIT: Instructions were made yesterday to halt a previous decision banning departing passengers through land borders from returning to Kuwait within eight hours of departure. Security sources noted that the ban was placed by the former borders director three months earlier and that border systems had been accordingly programmed. 

The sources added that a number of travellers who go to Khafji in Saudi Arabia on short business trips and return before eight hours had expressed dissatisfaction with the decision.

Accordingly, the land border exits manager brigadier Ayad Al-Haddad ordered exempting them until the block is fully removed from the Ministry of Interior’s systems.
