The revamped platform, (kuwaitvisa.moi.gov.kw), allows visitors to complete visa applications more efficiently and with fewer delays.

Eligible Professions for eVisa

Residents of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain holding specific professional titles are eligible to apply for an eVisa or obtain a visa on arrival. Eligible professions include doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, judges, and businesspeople, among others.
