Extension of Visit
The fine for staying more than 30 days is KD10 a day. A
visitor whose visa has expired is not allowed to leave
until he has paid the fine, which must be paid at the
Immigration Department in Shuwaikh during government
working hours and not at the airport. Fines however may
be paid a few days in advance and, unless this is done,
the flight out is invariably missed.
An expatriate may obtain two one-month extensions to a
visit visa or temporary residence provided application
is made to the Immigration Department before the visa
has expired.
Transit Visas
A transit visa, valid for a maximum stay of 7 days, can
be obtained from a Kuwaiti Consulate abroad or from a
Port Authority in Kuwait. The applicant must have a
valid visa for his next country of destination and,
unless he is working on a ship or airline, a confirmed
onward ticket. International truck drivers and their
helpers may obtain multiple entry transit visas.
