Kuwait tourist visa for Nepali citizens

A visa is required through the Kuwaiti embassy/consulate — Kuwait's eVisa/visa-on-arrival system is confirmed NOT available to Nepali citizens.

Kuwait's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs eVisa portal lists eligible nationalities for visa-on-arrival or eVisa, and Nepal is not among them. Nepali citizens need to apply for a visa through a traditional embassy channel instead — check with the Kuwaiti embassy handling Nepal, or Nepal's own embassy in Kuwait for guidance, for the current process.

Steps

  1. Contact the nearest Kuwaiti diplomatic mission — Since the eVisa/visa-on-arrival isn't available to Nepali citizens, check with the Kuwaiti embassy/consulate handling Nepal for the current traditional visa process.
  2. Gather required documents — Prepare your passport, photos, travel itinerary, proof of funds, and accommodation details.
  3. Submit your application and pay the fee — Follow the mission's specific submission instructions and pay the applicable fee.
  4. Wait for your visa — Confirm current processing times directly with the mission when you submit.
