How to check your Kuwait visa status online?

Those looking to check the application status and validity of their Kuwaiti visa may do so through the Kuwait Ministry of Interior’s (MoI) website

Authenticity check

To determine if your Kuwait visa is original or fake, you must verify its status online using your passport number and e-visa reference number. There are no other methods available for this check.

Go to the official Kuwait e-visa portal
Enter your passport number and your e-visa reference number
Click ‘ok’

Your visa details, including your e-visa validity, will be displayed immediately. If your e-visa number is valid, the system will show an ‘approved’ status. However, if the e-visa number is fake, it will display an ‘invalid number’ status. This method allows you to verify the authenticity of your Kuwait visa. It’s crucial to check your visa’s legitimacy, as scammers often target tourists and expatriates in Kuwait by selling fraudulent e-visas.
