Visa Details
Kuwait does not currently offer dedicated entrepreneur, digital nomad, or golden visa programmes. Residency permits are tied to employment or company ownership — shareholders and managers of Kuwaiti-registered companies can obtain residency through their entity. The transfer of residency sponsorship (Article 18 work visa) is regulated by the Public Authority for Manpower. Kuwait's visa regime is generally more restrictive than UAE or Bahrain, and some nationalities face longer processing times.
