Kuwait Visa Extension

The Kuwaiti government has recently updated its immigration regulations, bringing positive news for foreign nationals residing in the country. According to the latest information, there is an option for a Kuwait visa extension for those with valid visas. This extension allows foreigners to prolong their stay without visiting Kuwaiti government offices for visa renewal.

As of now, the program is expected to conclude on July 31st, 2020, unless further announcements are made. While the program remains active, eligible individuals can benefit from the extension without the requirement of submitting additional documents or paying extra fees, as long as their visas are still valid.

Obtaining one is mandatory for those without an existing seeking entry into Kuwait, except for citizens from five specific countries who can enter without a visa.

Several countries have the option to apply for a Kuwait eVisa, a traveling permit that can be obtained through an online system. This eVisa can be acquired through the platforms of Kuwait Immigration Services, which offer a more convenient alternative to embassy visits. Once in Kuwait, the eVisa is replaced with a visa on arrival, expediting the entry process. The e-Visa application process is straightforward and time-efficient, requiring only a short time before receiving the document via email.
