Kuwait has introduced a new digital visa issuance system aimed at simplifying and speeding up the visa application process for foreign nationals. The initiative is part of the government’s broader move toward digital transformation and improving public services.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the new platform will allow applicants to complete visa procedures online without the need for in-person visits to consulates or offices. The system will also enhance transparency and reduce processing time.
Officials stated that the digital framework includes advanced verification tools to ensure the authenticity of documents and strengthen national security measures. It also integrates with other government databases to streamline data management.
The ministry highlighted that the new system is particularly beneficial for expatriates and business travelers who frequently visit Kuwait. It will support multiple visa categories, including work, visit, and residency permits.
Authorities emphasized that the change reflects Kuwait’s vision to modernize its immigration services and align with global best practices in e-governance. The system’s launch is expected to boost tourism and foreign investment.
Public response to the announcement has been positive, with many praising the ease of online access and reduced bureaucratic hurdles in the visa process.
