Medical Treatment Visit Visa

The Medical Treatment Visit Visa is a specialized entry permit designed for foreign nationals who need to travel to Kuwait specifically to receive medical care or undergo health procedures. This visa category acknowledges the necessity of accessing specialized medical services that may be available within Kuwait’s healthcare infrastructure. To facilitate this, the visa process requires official documentation, including a letter of approval for treatment at a recognized hospital in Kuwait from the Ministry of Health. This ensures that the visitor has a clear medical purpose and a confirmed facility prepared to provide the necessary care during their stay.

As part of the standardized entry regulations effective from late 2025, applicants for this visa are required to pay a fee of KWD 10 per month of stay. Furthermore, all visitors must possess mandatory health insurance sourced from approved local providers, with an additional flat fee of KWD 5 for this coverage. This insurance requirement is a non-negotiable prerequisite for visa issuance, aimed at ensuring that medical visitors are adequately covered while in the country. Applicants must ensure their insurance remains valid for the duration of their planned medical stay to maintain their legal status.
