Kuwait Visa Services

Visa Free waiver scheme of the Kuwait government means no visa is needed for eligible individuals prior to their trip to Kuwait. This individual can be any UK citizens except certain passport holders like that of British Overseas Territories and foreign nationals of more than 80 countries. This multiple entry visa which is free of charge is valid for 180 days with a flexible stay of up to 90 days for certain nationals. UK citizens will get an initial 30 days visa free stay and will be able to extend their visa waiver just once for a maximum 30 days stay. On the other hand, ETA or e-visa is required for all non-UK foreign nationals residing in UK whose country is not part of the Kuwait Visa free scheme. This individual will have to apply online for free and can get up to 30 days free visa to enter Kuwait.With visa-free entry through Kuwait’s visa waiver scheme, it means that you do not have to make any visa arrangements prior to your trip and that you can obtain a visa waiver (a granted length of stay in the country without a visa) upon arrival, free of charge.

Only visitors with a 30-day visa waiver can request a 30-day visit extension from the Ministry of Interior (MoI) Immigration Office at the International Airport, or at any MoI Service Center located throughout the country. You will not need to present yourself in person, but Immigration staff will require your original passport, copies of your confirmed onward tickets, and card payment only of certain amount as advised at the time.
