Can I apply for an e-visa for Kuwait?

For traditional paper visas, e-visas are more popular with the public for their fast issuance and simple operation. Many people consider e-visas first before traveling. Many countries have opened e-visas to facilitate tourists. Can you apply for an e-visa for Kuwait?

Kuwait can apply for an electronic visa, but there are conditional requirements for applicants. If the applicant holds a long-term residence visa from a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country (valid for more than 6 months), and the residence visa is marked with doctors, engineers, lawyers, judges, university teachers, consultants, media, pilots, programmers, managers, businessmen, diplomatic missions, etc. Citizens holding Hong Kong passports can apply for electronic visas.

Kuwait's e-visa processing time is generally 10-15 working days, and the validity period is relatively short, only 30 days, the stay period is also 30 days, a single round trip, so it is recommended that applicants plan their itinerary before applying for a visa.

However, if the applicant does not meet the requirements, he cannot apply for an electronic visa and can only apply for a sticker visa to enter Kuwait. If the application meets the requirements, you can apply online. You only need a scanned passport, electronic photo and a scanned academic certificate to apply. The operation is relatively simple.

It is worth noting that the applicant should preferably be a man and have developed country records as supporting materials. Although Kuwait does not restrict women's entry, due to religious beliefs, the embassy has extremely strict requirements for women to apply for Kuwaiti visas, so it is not recommended to apply for electronic visas.

Therefore, it is possible to apply for an e-visa for Kuwait, but it is only open to some specific groups of people, and not all people can apply. If others want to apply, they can prepare materials according to the purpose of entry.
