Have you received an exciting job offer in Kuwait, or are you preparing to sponsor your spouse and children on a Kuwait Family Residence Visa?

No. Kuwait is NOT a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, a standard MEA Apostille sticker is not accepted in Kuwait. All Indian documents must undergo multi-tiered consular attestation culminating in official stamping from the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi, followed by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) verification in Kuwait.
The mandatory legalisation process for Indian educational degrees involves: 1) Authentication from the issuing university, 2) State HRD attestation from the Department of Higher Education where the university is located, 3) Attestation by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA, New Delhi), 4) Verification by the Kuwait Cultural Attaché (for professional degrees), and 5) Final consular legalisation by the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi.
The Embassy of the State of Kuwait and State HRD departments require original or verified copies of all semester/year-wise mark sheets alongside the final degree certificate to confirm course continuity, authenticity, and that the degree was completed through a recognized regular university program rather than through unauthorized distance learning.
Yes. A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) issued by the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) is strictly mandatory for obtaining a Kuwait work visa stamping. The original PCC must be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Embassy of the State of Kuwait within its validity window (typically 3 to 6 months from the date of issue).
Standard personal document attestation (Marriage, Birth, PCC) typically takes 7 to 10 working days. Educational degree certificate attestation generally takes 12 to 18 working days depending on state HRD verification turnaround. AK Travel Services also offers an express fast-track service for urgent work visa submissions.
Yes. Non-educational certificates like Marriage and Birth certificates do not require State HRD. Instead, they are authenticated either through the State Home Department or through Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) authentication, followed by MEA clearance and final stamping by the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi.
