Sahl now pings you every time you cross a Kuwait border
Your trip record in the app, with an emergency travel document and a lost-bag report one tap away.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior switched on a new kind of alert in the Sahl government app on Wednesday 11 November 2026. Citizens and residents now get a notification when they leave or enter the country through a border crossing, showing the trip exactly as the crossing logged it.
When you leave
The departure alert links straight to two services: applying for an emergency travel document, and reaching the consular call centre.
When you land
The arrival alert links to the customs declaration and to a lost-baggage report.
If the record is wrong
The same alert lets you flag a mistake in your travel data. If a date or a crossing does not match your trip, you can report it from the app instead of visiting an office.
The ministry did not say whether the alerts need switching on, or whether they cover earlier trips.
