Every country got their own rules & criteria... now Pakistan is not included in the list of the countries whos citizen are required to go thru medical tests every time they renew their residence... their country their rules.. plain & simple
Indians required to do medical test before every renewal of residency
Posted on 10/20/2013
Citizens of 31 countries, including India, are subject to medical tests before entering the country and every time thereafter while renewing their residencies in Kuwait, local daily reported.
According to a local Arabic daily, the head of the ports and borders health department Dr Sami Al-Nasser announced the re-testing procedure will be applied to citizens from 31 countries who are residing in Kuwait after returning from their vacations. The test will take place at the time of iqama renewal. Nasser said the countries are Niger, Uganda, Cameron, Angola, Congo, Central Africa, South Africa, Djibouti, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Benin, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Chad, Togo, Tonga, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Ivory Coast, Mali, Malawi, Nigeria, Namibia, Somalia and India.
Nasser said the test is precautionary so that no infection is transferred to Kuwait from the above-mentioned countries, “as we always follow the necessary procedures to prevent transmission of infections and chronic diseases”.
Expats from the above mentioned countries will have to undergo a medical test here with every visa renewal. And if they don’t, their files will be blocked and they won’t be able to do any paperwork, local daily reported.
Update:
As per the latest updates, the decision is not yet implemented and its learned that Ministry of Health will soon take certain decisions in this regard.
