Kuwait visa
Kuwait City
Kuwait issues entry visas through the Ministry of Interior's General Directorate of Residency, and whether you can apply yourself online or need a sponsor in Kuwait depends on your passport and your circumstances rather than on your UAE residence alone. This is the destination on this list where we would rather check your specific case than publish a general rule, because the routes differ more by individual than they do elsewhere in the Gulf. Send us your passport and residence details and we will tell you which one applies before anything is paid for.
