She affirmed that the above mentioned decision will ease procedures for Kuwaitis who travel to the United Kingdom for tourism and other purposes, as they no longer have to go to the British Visa Center to obtain a visa.

She added: “The abolition of the visa requirement for Kuwaiti citizens who make short-term visits to the United Kingdom during 2023 reflects the long ties of friendship, trade and cooperation between the two countries; as well as strengthening rapprochement between them. We are hoping that the decision will enter into force in the near future.”
