flag Kuwait allows select visitors to convert visas to residence permits for work, family, or official reasons, with flexible durations and transfers.

flag Kuwait has introduced new rules allowing certain visitors to convert visit visas to residence permits under specific conditions, including government officials with qualifications, domestic workers, family members joining relatives, workers returning after brief absences, and exceptional cases approved by the Director General. flag Residency duration now depends on purpose—like work or study—not passport validity, and permits can extend past passport expiry. flag Transfers between residency categories are permitted with approval. flag The changes aim to streamline processes for family unity, employment, and official duties while maintaining strict oversight.
