Answer: To obtain dependent visas for your wife and two children you will have to visit the Immigration Department in your Governorate, fill in application forms in Arabic and this is done by a typist and thereafter produce the following documents along with the application forms:

1. Copies of your wife’s and children’s passport
2. Copy of your Civil ID
3. Work permit indicating the salary you earn per month.
4. Children’s birth certificates and your marriage certificate authenticated by your country’s Foreign Ministry as well as your embassy here in Kuwait.

You will also need to have these documents stamped by Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait.
