Kuwait Extends Visit Visas and Absence Permits Amid Regional Tensions

Kuwait has extended visit visas by one month and granted residents stranded abroad an additional three-month absence permit without fees, effective until February 28, 2026. These automatic extensions aim to assist individuals facing travel difficulties amid Middle East tensions. The measures apply to all residents, including Indian nationals, with further extensions possible depending on evolving conditions. Indian Prime Minister Modi recently discussed regional peace and the safety of Indians in Kuwait with the Kuwaiti Crown Prince.
