As of February 2024, Kuwaiti citizens are required to obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before traveling to the United Kingdom. The ETA replaces the previous Electronic Visa Waiver scheme and is part of broader border security measures introduced by the UK government. The authorization permits visits for various purposes including tourism, family visits, short-term study, and paid engagements, for a maximum duration of six months per visit and valid for two years. By January 2025, the ETA will be necessary for all non-UK nationals.
The UK ETA is mandatory for Kuwaiti citizens traveling to the UK, allowing visits for family, tourism, and short-term engagements but replacing the visa-free access.
Introduced in March 2023, the UK ETA enhances border security and will apply to all non-UK nationals by January 2025, marking a significant policy shift.
Unlike a visa, the UK ETA does not permit long-term residency or work; it grants short visits for designated purposes and allows multiple entries within two years.
The ETA grants Kuwaiti citizens freedom of movement within the UK but limits individual visits to six months, ensuring compliance with new immigration regulations.
