Kuwait just scrapped the minimum income rule for residents who want to bring in family on visit visas. That means whether you’re earning big bucks or just starting out, you can now apply to host your loved ones without worrying about salary thresholds.

More Family Members Eligible

It’s not just for parents, spouses, and kids anymore. The new rules allow visits from relatives up to the fourth degree by blood and third degree by in-laws. So yes—your cousins, uncles, and even your in-law squad are welcome.

No More National Airline Rule

Another big win: visitors no longer have to fly in via Kuwait’s national carrier. They can now arrive by land, sea, or any airline they choose.

Why the Change?

Officials say the move is all about making life easier for residents, strengthening family connections, and opening Kuwait up to more visitors.
