Kuwait E-visa Service Effective As Of Today
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah inaugurated on Thursday the electronic-visa sector at Kuwait International Airport, whereby applicants can obtain the entry visa online ahead of arrival in the country.
Speaking upon the inauguration of the e-visa service at the airport facility, Minister Sheikh Moahmmad advised staff and personnel to subject the new system to regular check-up and maintenance, cautioning that any glitch would impair the service, thus tarnishing Kuwait image abroad. Qualified national manpower should be assigned to run the system, he instructed.
Minister Sheikh Mohammad, who oversaw the successful test of the system, urged the concerned personnel to maintain such excellent performance round the clock. “Real operation of the system should be equally effective and I will not accept less than that,” he stressed.
The system is part of a wide-scale strategy to upgrade and speed up the State services for all people, namely citizens and expatriates. Security personnel should perform effectively, security wise, and provide good treatment to departing and arriving people at the same time, he said.
Ali Al-Muaili, in charge of the technological sector in the Ministry of Interior, addressed the minister and other attendees, saying that the e-visa system provides the visa to people abroad via the MoI website, www.moi.gov.kw, thus they will be spared the energy and time wasting at Kuwait airport.
