Kuwait eVisa Requirements for Citizens of India

We recommend applicants to take into account the requirements for international travel for Indian citizens before proceeding to the Kuwait eVisa application form. The most important conditions Indian nationals must meet to request the Kuwait eVisa include the following:

• Be in possession of an Indian passport valid for at least 190 days on the date they apply
• Save a digital copy of the biographical page of their passport
• Use a bank card to pay the Kuwait eVisa service fee
• Provide an email account for registration and primary communications
• Reside in one of the GCC countries (mentioned previously)

Indians with dual citizenship should remember to apply with the same passport they will use when traveling to Kuwait. Likewise, they should take care when storing a digital copy of their passport’s biographical page. It should be perfectly readable to avoid any issues in the evaluation process.

They should also provide a bank card authorized for online payments and apply with an email address they frequently use since all communications regarding their eVisa request will be done online.

Indian nationals applying from any of the neighboring GCC countries should ensure they possess a valid GCC residency permit for at least 190 days and be a qualified professional or academic. Indians with the following professional occupations are welcome to apply for the Kuwait eVisa:

• Consultant
• Doctor
• Engineer
• Lawyer
• Judge
• University lecturer
• Journalist
• Pilot
• Software programmer
• Analyst
• Diplomat
• Business professionals
• Business owners

The State of Kuwait aims to ensure all arrivals from their neighboring countries comply with local laws and regulations and carefully scrutinizes all applications received.

Indian nationals who meet the conditions mentioned previously can proceed to the eVisa application form. This is an online questionnaire that is simple to fill out and approximately takes 30 minutes to complete.

Indian applicants will have to provide their biographical, passport plus their accommodation details.

Indian travelers must ensure their answers are true and accurate. Any mismatch with their replies and the information on their passport could lead to delays in their approval or rejection of their eVisa request.

Indian passport holders conclude the eVisa application process by paying the eVisa service fee. We recommend their cards carry sufficient funds and have been previously authorized for international online payments.

Indian travelers should plan their arrival in Kuwait to be at least 30 days after receiving their eVisa. They can use this online visa to enter Kuwait by air, road, or sea.

Upon reaching border controls, they must provide their passport, printed eVisa, and GCC residency permit for inspection before being granted entry into the country. The holder of the valid GCC residency permit must accompany their dependents (spouse, children, or domestic helpers) when they enter the country.

Indian passengers transiting through Kuwait do not need the eVisa as long as they remain in the International Transit Area in Kuwait International Airport. If they would like to briefly exit the airport for some quick sightseeing, shopping, or meet any relative, they will be obliged to have the eVisa previously granted and return to the airport with plenty of time before their connecting flight.

Indian tourists already in Kuwait can request an eVisa extension. They must simply have the reference number to their original eVisa form available when applying.
