- The document begins with the title ‘Welcome to the State of Kuwait – Visa’ in both English and Arabic.
- Below, there’s a subheading in both languages stating ‘Tourist Visa-Application.’
- On the left side, you’ll find the Kuwait police badge, while the Kuwaiti emblem (coat of arms) is on the right.
- The main text includes a letter in English (left-aligned) and Arabic (right-aligned).
- The English section starts with ‘Dear [YOUR NAME], We are pleased to inform you that your tourist visa application for Kuwait has been approved,’ followed by your 12-digit application number.
- Beneath this, you’ll find the visa number (9 digits) along with its validity dates.
Check visa application status
- Open the MoI e-Visa portal.
- Select Visa Application Status on the Dashboard menu.
- Enter your application number and complete the CAPTCHA.
- Select Submit to view the current status and any notes.
Troubleshooting & common errors
- Invalid number: Re-enter the e-visa reference carefully; confirm you’re not using the application number by mistake.
- Name/number mismatch: Ensure the passport number matches the document exactly (including leading zeros).
- Portal timeout/CAPTCHA loop: Refresh the page, clear cache, or try a different browser/device.
