What this means for nurses
State of Kuwait does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to nurses, so the general routes below are the place to start. Nurses work in a regulated field, so immigration approval is only half the journey: in most countries you must also clear a separate professional-registration or licensing step before you can practise in State of Kuwait. That recognition process often takes as long as the visa itself, so it is worth starting in parallel.
The most-used skilled route into State of Kuwait overall is the Article 18 Work Residency (private-sector Iqama); it is not specific to nurses but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
