So here’s the lowdown: This shiny new visa comes with an initial validity of three months which can be extended up to a whole year from the date of issuance. Whether you’re a sports fanatic, a cultural connoisseur, or a social butterfly, you’ve got the flexibility to soak up all the fun Kuwait has to offer for an extended stay. Kuwait’s new visa also allows you to experience the country’s rich cultural heritage, diving headfirst into thrilling sports activities and making memories at social events.

So how do you get your hands on this visa? To get this visa, you will need to apply through authorised entities such as sports clubs, social organisations, cultural associations, or other groups that are approved by the authorities. Follow their guidelines and voila, you’re on your way to unlocking the wonders of Kuwait. However, it’s the General Directorate for Residency Affairs that will be responsible for granting the visa, ensuring a streamlined process for applicants.

And let’s not forget that Kuwait is just a hop away from the UAE. Plus, with the upcoming Eid Al Adha break granting a glorious six-day weekend, Kuwait might just be the perfect destination for your next epic adventure.
