Effective immediately, UK nationals who do not hold residency in Kuwait and plan to use the visa-on-arrival facility must notify the British Embassy in Kuwait at least 24 hours before arrival. This new requirement, outlined on the FCDO’s official ‘Warnings and insurance’ page, mandates that the British Embassy shares traveler details with Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which ultimately authorizes entry.
