Online Scams in Kuwait City

Online Visa and Travel Permit Services Fraud

Third-party websites charge 50–150 USD to process Kuwaiti visit visas or business e-visas that travelers can obtain for free or at minimal cost directly through the official Kuwait Ministry of Interior portal. Some fraudulent services collect personal document scans and payment and then either deliver nothing or simply forward the application without any added value. Identity theft from uploaded passport scans is an additional risk.
