Do I need a visa to transit Kuwait?

Generally speaking, the cost of a direct air ticket is higher than that of an air ticket that needs to be transferred, and the price of the air ticket will vary depending on the time. Therefore, people need to buy air tickets from transit countries when traveling, but after purchasing, they need to know clearly whether the transit country needs to apply for a transit visa, so do they need to apply for a Kuwaiti visa when Kuwait is in transit?

Since Kuwait does not have a transit visa, Kuwait does not need to apply for a transit visa when transiting Kuwait. However, the Kuwaiti Embassy has a regulation on this. If the applicant does not meet this requirement when transiting Kuwait, what are the conditions for Kuwait's transit visa-free policy?

1. Do not leave the airport and stay for no more than 24 hours, do not need to apply for a visa.

2. If you leave the airport and stay for no more than 24 hours, you need to apply for a visa.

3. If you leave the airport and stay for more than 24 hours, you need to apply for a visa.

According to the above conditions, applicants can only be exempted from transit visas if they do not leave the airport and stay for less than 24 hours. In other cases, they must apply for a Kuwaiti entry visa. However, the Kuwaiti entry visa can only be processed with the guarantee of Kuwaitis. The Kuwaiti visa processing process is relatively complicated, so applicants must check their air tickets clearly when purchasing air tickets.

If the air ticket purchased by the applicant needs to leave the airport or stay for too long, the applicant can apply for a Kuwaiti tourist visa according to the purpose of the tour. Because the Kuwaiti tourist visa requires a guarantee invitation letter from Kuwaitis, which is more complicated, the applicant can find an agency to apply for a Kuwaiti visa. The agency can simplify the materials, and the application is simple and convenient.

For example, when the Kuwait Visa Service Center handles a Kuwait visa, only the applicant needs to provide basic materials, no invitation letter, and the applicant only needs to mail the materials, which is more convenient and saves time.
