Why apply through OYA?

One mistake in a letter or a number… could cost you the entire visa fee

An application can be rejected, or its fees lost, because of one small mistake: a letter in the name that does not match the passport, a missing digit, a reversed date, or a photo of the wrong size. Government fees are usually non-refundable. That is why we submit your Kuwait visa application for you and set up your file correctly from the start.

  • We fill in the application for youand match every letter and number to your passport before submitting.
  • We review photos and documentsagainst the official specifications, so the file is not rejected over a formality.
  • We organize your file correctlyand complete the bookings and paperwork required for your type of visa.
  • We follow your application until the decisionand send you the e-visa on WhatsApp as soon as it is issued.

OYA Tourism is a private travel agency, not a government body. Our service fee is modest, and we explain it to you separately from the official fees before we start; the final decision rests with the competent authority alone.

Overview

In July 2025, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior launched an online platform for visit visas covering four types: tourist, family visit, business and official. Under the rules announced later, the tourist visa is granted for a single entry valid for one, two or three months, or for multiple entries valid for 3, 6 or 12 months, with a stay not exceeding 30 days per entry.

The family visit saw important facilitations: the salary requirement for the sponsor was announced as abolished, and it was extended to cover relatives up to the fourth degree and in-laws up to the third degree, valid from one month to one year. Kuwait also announced a return to standard rules for visit visas from September 1, 2026, after the exceptional arrangements ended, so we review the latest instructions before every application.

Eligibility varies by nationality; some nationalities get the visa electronically or on arrival, and Gulf residents have a special route. Send us your nationality and status and we will tell you the most suitable route, then we fill in the application and arrange your hotel booking and flight ticket. The final decision rests with Kuwait's Ministry of Interior.

Who can apply?

  • Tourists of various nationalities, depending on the eligibility of the passport nationality.
  • Turkish citizens: we check their eligibility for the e-visa or visa on arrival before each application.
  • Residents of GCC countries, as a tourist visa on arrival was announced for them, subject to conditions on the validity of the residence permit.
  • Relatives of residents in Kuwait up to the fourth degree, through the family visit visa.
  • Business people invited by Kuwaiti companies or bodies, through the business visa.
