Thinking of a trip from Minsk to the bustling city life of Kuwait City? As a Belarus citizen, the requirements for entering the State of Kuwait have been greatly simplified. Whether you are heading out for a holiday, investigating business ventures, or visiting loved ones, being well-informed about the Kuwait visa regime is essential for a hassle-free experience.

This guide offers an in-depth look at how to Apply Kuwait e-visa from Belarus Citizens, from “Do I need a visa?” to the most popular nighttime sightseeing spots in the country.

Do Belarus Citizens Need a Visa for Kuwait?

Yes. At the moment, Belarusian citizens need to apply for a visa in order to enter Kuwait. Kuwait does not have a visa-free entry policy for Belarusian citizens, unlike some of its GCC counterparts. However, the launch of the eVisa (Electronic Visa) system has ensured that the visa application process is entirely online, with no need to visit an embassy physically.

What are the different types of Kuwait visas?

Visa Type	No. of Entries	Max. Stay	Validity
Tourist eVisa	Single	30 Days	30 Days

Is it possible to extend a Kuwait visit visa?

The Kuwait Tourist eVisa is not extendable while in the country. If you want to stay in Kuwait for a longer period, you will need to leave the country and apply for a new visa. Overstaying your visa can result in heavy fines (about 10 KWD per day) and even a ban on future entry.

Is there biometric in Kuwait airport?

Kuwait International Airport (KWI) is quickly upgrading its facilities to include biometric boarding and identification. As of the end of 2025, the Ministry of Interior has moved biometric registration (fingerprinting and facial scanning) to biometric centers throughout the governorates of Kuwait to alleviate congestion at airports.

How Does Biometric Boarding Work for Travelers?

• Initial Registration: Most travelers are fingerprinted and facially scanned upon their initial arrival at the airport immigration counters.
• Smart Gates: After your biometric data is registered, you can proceed to use the “Smart Gates” at the newer terminals (such as Terminal 4) for expedited boarding and exiting without the need for manual passport stamping.
• Pre-Travel: Residents are required to register at local centers, but for tourists, it is important to have your biometric data properly registered at the port of entry to facilitate smooth boarding on your return flight.

What are the Kuwait visa requirements?

To achieve a very high approval success rate, you need to fulfill certain requirements as specified by the Kuwait Ministry of Interior. The standard Kuwait Visa Requirements are a must for a successful application.

Which Documents are Required for Belarus Citizens?

Before proceeding with your application at kuwait-evisa.org, you need to have the following documents ready:

• Passport Bio Page: A high-quality scan of your passport (should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry).
• Recent Photo: A digital passport-sized photo with a white background.
• Passport Observation Page: In case your passport has any official remarks or changes.
• Proof of Stay: A hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from your host.
• Applicant Birth Certificate: In some cases, for children.
• GCC Residence Permit (If Applicable): If you are a Belarusian national residing in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, or Bahrain, this is your “Gulf Connection” which might make the process even easier.

How is the Kuwait eVisa Fee Calculated?

To ensure transparency of costs, your total is calculated based on the following simple formula: Total Fee = Government Visa Cost + Service Fee + (Rush/Super Rush add-on, if chosen)

Will I see the full amount before paying? Yes. At kuwait-evisa.org, your total amount is clearly displayed before you move to the secure payment gateway.

Is Kuwait a Safe Destination for Foreign Visitors?

Kuwait is regarded as one of the safest nations in the Middle East. The crime rate is very low. Nevertheless, visitors should be mindful of local traditions:

• Alcohol & Pork: Both are banned and cannot be imported.
• Dress Code: Although not as conservative as in some other countries, visitors should dress modestly in public places.

What Should I Know About Working in Kuwait?

Many tourists ask about the possibility of working in Kuwait after entering the country on a tourist visa. It is essential to understand that the eVisa is only valid for tourism purposes. If you are interested in working in Kuwait, you will need to obtain a residency and work permit from a sponsor before entering the country.

What if I Lose My Passport or eVisa?

In case you lose your passport or eVisa while in the country:

1. eVisa: You can simply access your email or contact our support team to download the PDF again.
2. Passport: You need to contact the Embassy of Belarus in Kuwait (or the nearest embassy) immediately to apply for an Emergency Travel Document.

How long does it take to get a Kuwait e-visa?

• Standard Processing: 9-12 Working Days (Recommended for early planners).
• Rush Processing: 6-9 Working Days (For those with a tight schedule).
• Super Rush Processing: 3-6 Working Days (For those who need it urgently).

Can I Use My Visa if I Didn’t Travel on the Intended Date?

If your eVisa was issued but you didn’t travel within the 30-day validity period, your visa will expire. You cannot reuse your visa; you need to apply again.

How Does Dual Nationality Impact Entry?

If you have dual nationality, for example, Belarusian and Russian or Belarusian and Polish, you must enter Kuwait using the same passport that was used in the eVisa application. This is because using a different passport at the border may lead to delays.

Can a Tourist Visa be Converted on Arrival?

Kuwait does not permit tourists to “convert” their tourist visa into a work visa or residency visa within the country. You will need to leave the country, and then your sponsor will be able to obtain the new visa, after which you can re-enter.
