How to Apply for a Domestic Servant Visa

• Domestic servant visa may be obtained from the Jawazaat in Shuwaikh.
• The application form must be filled out in Arabic. If you do not speak and write in Arabic, you will find bilingual typists in Shuwaikh. They charge 500 fils.
• The servant or maid need to go to the Kuwait embassy in his or her home country.
• After the flight to Kuwait, the domestic servant visa will require his or her passport photos, and documents (same list as that of a work visa, except for the work permit). The servant has to pay a residence fee of KD200.00 for the first year and KD10.00 for the succeeding years.
• This process can go through Kuwait agencies that specializes in obtaining domestic servants or maids for Kuwaitis and expatriates. One must have to be careful though in choosing an agency. Most are reliable agencies.
