Reports in the news say that the charge for a Visit Visa may increase to 100 KD.
I understand it may be to discourage 'medical' and 'begging' tourists from visiting but what about us whose family visit, when they have time off from their jobs at home?
Are they trying to drive out unaccompanied family employees?
Why not introduce compulsory travel insurance for visitors before they enter?
What's all this about 100 KD for a visit visa?

It is still a rumor, let us not jump to conclusions. They have better ways to control entry.

Hi,
If anyone has any idea, Can Friends, Uncles and Aunts come to Kuwait to Visit. And if yes, how can one go abt it or understand the processes, so that there is not too much of trouble for them.
Thanks

hello Technicality82, you can only make visit visas for family, negating your first query about friends.
second, as far as i have seen, it is only for family of the first degree - i.e. father, mother, sister, brother - legally.
