iVisa
6 min read
Updated on Feb 15, 2024

Over the last few years, we've come a long way when it comes to diplomacy and international accords. Nowadays, almost anything is possible. It may seem futuristic, but have you ever thought that embassies would become obsolete as far as visas are concerned?

If you think about it for a second, every person who needs a tourist visa, a business visa, or even a medical one, needs to go through a process at the consulate of the country in which they want to go. But nowadays, it is possible to simply apply for an electronic visa in some countries if you want to visit them.

Kuwait is one of the countries where the principle mentioned above is applicable. iVisa.com is some sort of intermediary between a person and the Government of Kuwait. That is how Kuwait eVisas are possible. In fact, there are more than 50 countries whose citizens are eligible for a Kuwait e-Visa. In this article, we will explain you a little about this electronic visa for Kuwait.
