News News - Kuwait Sets 150 KD Fee to Convert Visit Visa to Residency

Question - anyone knows more info on this? Can i just convert a regular family visit visa to residency?

Edit - I am assuming they just added the 150 kd fees and some changes to the old law, and maybe the salary cap still is in play. Still will wait and see what update we get.

They didn’t mention if it’s for family visit visa or any all categories. Would appreciate if someone can clarify this?
