The Residence Affairs Department has recently published a brochure that provides a comprehensive list of essential documents required for the approval of family visit visas. This step was taken in response to expatriates frequently submitting incomplete paperwork. The necessary documents include a signed request from the sponsor, contact details, travel ticket, valid copies of the passport, sponsor's civil ID, address verification, and confirmation from the sponsor's workplace.


It is necessary to provide authenticated certificates of kinship that have been attested by the Kuwaiti embassies and foreign ministries. Contrary to speculations, it is important to note that the ministry has no plans to cease issuing visit visas within the next two months. Furthermore, according to information obtained from the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation, it has been stated that passengers intending to visit their families will only be allowed entry into the country if they travel via Kuwait Airways or Jazeera Airways.
