About the Kuwait Visa Medical

The Kuwait Visa Medical is a critical step for individuals moving to the State of Kuwait for employment or long-term residency. Governed by the Kuwait Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Health, this assessment ensures that all foreign workers meet strict health standards. The process is designed to protect public health by screening for various infectious and tropical diseases before a visa is granted.

Who can apply?
Any non-Kuwaiti national applying for a Work Visa (Public or Private sector) or a Residency Visa (Family/Dependent). The medical is a prerequisite for the legalisation of your documents at the Embassy.

Eligible Visa Types:

  • Work Visa (Sponsored Employment)
  • Residency Visa (Family Joinder/Dependents)
  • Government Sector Visas
  • Domestic Worker Visas

Requirements & Official Guidance:
Due to the specific laboratory requirements, reports typically take a few days to process. For the most up-to-date entry and work permit regulations, please visit the official government guidance: UK Government: Kuwait Travel Advice.

FAQs about our Kuwait Visa Medical

Does Kuwait require a Malaria and Microfilaria blood film?

Yes, Kuwait is one of the few countries that still requires a “thick and thin” blood film to screen for Malaria and Filaria parasites, even if you have no symptoms.
Yes, Kuwait has zero tolerance for Hepatitis B (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C (HCV) for foreign workers. We perform these tests using high-sensitivity laboratory equipment.
Yes, for all female applicants, a laboratory-certified pregnancy test is a mandatory requirement for the Kuwaiti medical report.
While often requested at the border or by employers, the medical assessment is a good time to ensure your ACWY Meningitis vaccination is up to date, as it is frequently required for residency.
The panel is extensive and includes HIV, Syphilis (VDRL), Malaria, Hepatitis B/C, and a Chest X-ray for TB. We provide a single, comprehensive report covering all these.
Because of the complexity of the Malaria film and the viral screenings, results typically take 3 to 5 working days. We recommend booking at least a week before your embassy appointment.
