Family Visas Will Be Reopned Soon In Kuwait

The acceptance of family visit visa applications is on the rise. After a hiatus lasting several months, Kuwait may once again allow families to apply for visit visas, enabling them to reunite with their loved ones in the country.

As a result of completing the necessary procedures and requirements related to visa issuance, Kuwait is set to reopen family visa applications. The eligibility criteria for applicants will include salary and job considerations, with priority given to first-degree relatives.

Kuwait's visa policies have undergone a positive shift, catering to various aspects of social life and strengthening family ties.

A new clause was added to Article 4 of Ministerial Resolution No. 957/2019 by Minister Talal Al-Khaled. This amendment establishes a new type of entry visa for practicing sports, cultural, or social activities in Kuwait, reports Al Rai. The visa will be granted by the General Directorate of Residence Affairs upon submission of a request by recognized sports clubs, accredited cultural and social institutions, bodies, or associations, in adherence to the guidelines set by the General Directorate of Residence Affairs.

As stipulated in Article 11 of Amiri Decree No. 17 of 1959, the visa allows temporary residence in Kuwait for a period of three months with the possibility of renewal for up to one year from the date of entry.

Sources have applauded the decision to grant three-month visas for sports, cultural, and social activities. They believe it will facilitate various related activities and stimulate economic and commercial movement in the country.

A specialized mechanism is currently being implemented by the Ministry of Interior to streamline the visa application process. To streamline the review process at residence affairs departments according to established procedures, electronic appointments will be introduced.
