Kuwait Offerings

Kuwait: Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Abdullah Al-Yahya announced positive developments regarding the Schengen visa for Kuwaiti citizens. There are two potential solutions being explored. One option is a complete visa exemption, allowing Kuwaitis to travel freely within the Schengen zone. The other possibility is a long-term visa similar to the arrangement with the UK. This would involve a five-year online application process.
