U.S. Embassy Kuwait, Visa Procedure – KTV2
The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait provides Non-Immigrant Visa services to Kuwaitis residing anywhere in Kuwait and to third-country nationals residing in Kuwait. Non-Immigrant Visas are required for travelers who wish to visit, work or study for a temporary period. The type of visa required will depend on the purpose of your travel. Appointments are required for visa interviews.
The Embassy provides immigrant visa services to anyone residing in Kuwait provided the Department of Homeland Security approves the Immigrant Visa petition first. We do not have a local U.S. Customs and Immigrations Services office at post.
