Attention: Starting from 1 January 2025, any foreign national with a Civil ID in Kuwait who wishes to apply for a Thai visa must submit their application, supporting documents, and pay the application fee through the new online Thai e-Visa platform at https://www.thaievisa.go.th/.

• It is no longer required for visa applicants to submit their passports and original supporting documents in person at the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuwait.
  
  

Visa Exemption: Kuwaiti citizens are entitled to visa exemption for the purposes of tourism and short-term business for up to 60 days. It is possible to apply for an extension of stay at any Immigration Bureau in Thailand (http://www.immigration.go.th/) where you may be permitted to stay for another 30-day period.
