Kuwait Embassy – Philippines | 2nd Part – more details!

I noticed visitors kept coming back about my previous post on Kuwait Embassy in Philippines.  In this little way, I hope it’s a big help to those who are looking for the new address & location of Kuwait Embassy in Philippines. 

I remember we had a hard time locating the embassy after they moved out from their old address in Makati and it was even more harder (our vacation was somehow spoiled) when I came to know that Aboitiz is no longer handling the courier of the documents to the Embassy of Kuwait-Manila. Grrr!!! Heheheh :-)
There are some points that I want to share before visiting the Embassy of Kuwait-Manila:
- Call the Embassy of Kuwait – Manila before visiting the embassy to process your visa stamping (+63 2 556 3861-4).
- Inquire (while holding your original Kuwait visa) the transmittal visa dates in order to find out when is the best date to visit the embassy.  You can check the dates (located on the lower left of the visa) as per the given transmittal dates.
sample.bmp
- It’s useless to start processing your visa stamping if the visa is not yet included on the transmittal dates.
- Don’t fail to ask the exact & correct requirements you need to bring before proceeding to the embassy.
- If you have all the requirements and transmittal date advise then I think you are ready to go.
- It’s important to carry with you at least to valid ID: 1 for the security and the other is for the embassy.
- By the way, I processed Dependent/ Family visa and not working or visit visa.
- All the best! ;-)
Here’s the new address (again) of the Embassy of Kuwait – Manila:
Embassy of the State of Kuwait Manila
8th Floor, Total Corporate Center (opposite Villa Kalayaan)
Kalayaan Avenue cor. Triangle Drive
Bonifacio, Global City

Can i Just ask what are the requirements needed for the dependent /family visa. i would be bringing my daughter this month her flight would be on april 26 and i send already the following documents to the philippines
1. SPA for my brother to get all the necessary documents needed and sign for my behalf.
2.Affidavit of Support and consent
3. Parental travel permit
4. Plane ticket
5. Dependent Visa

Do he still need to go for an appointment or can they go directly to the embassy?

thor said...

Hi,
Thanks for visiting.
I would highly suggest calling the Kuwait Embassy in Manila, I think there are some slight changes to their procedures. Pls refer to the above tel. nos. Pls don't forget to mention to Kuwait Embassy that your brother has already the important/required documents to finalize the procedure. All the best!

What basically are the documents to be brought for stamping? I am also processing dependent visa. Is it true that I have to undergo medical? Do I have to have ticket already?

thor said...

Hi Anonymous,
You have to bring with you all the original documents (attested). What I learned recently is that 18 y/o above has to undergo medical procedures.
Air ticket can be obtained later after all the process has been completed in order to avoid re-booking fees.

hi everyone!

am here in kuwait for visit visa and I want to apply for a job here if possible. Do I need my transcript of records, diplomas, and nbi clearance that have been authenticated by DFA be forwarded to kuwait embassy manila?

need your help...thanks in advance

thor said...

hi anonymous,

According to my observations, there are cases that they were able to get a job on a visit visa but not in all cases. If so, wait for the advise of the employer on which documents you have to process for authentication. The documents you mentioned are most probably to be lined up to process for authentication.

Further, it is advisable to have one's credentials authenticated if he/she is desiring to work overseas whether to Middle East or any where in Western countries.

All the best!

hi anonymous,
It is highly advisable to coordinate immediately with the person who issued the visa in order to amend and correct the mismatch of the information on the documents.

Hi Marianna,

Hi Arianne Joson,
That's good news! It will depend to how many documents you submitted for attestation. Am not sure now how much is the attestation fee per document.

Hello Readers!

@anonymous: I am not sure if they have an email address.

thor said...

@Ariel: Thank you for visiting. Sorry if I am not able to answer that since it deals with regard to labor/ work issues between you and the employer.

thor said...

@anonymous: Hi single mom, I suggest you verify with the immigration and know what will they require from you.

thor said...

@anonymous: Hi expectant mom, just would like to know if you're travelling from Manila to Kuwait..? If so, make sure that all pertinent documents issued from Kuwait should be reviewed/submitted at Kuwait Embassy to avoid hassles including your medical certs. to show that your fit to travel.

Jayrald said...

Hi thor, your website is really informative. I have a job offer in Kuwait as a Receptionist (direct hiring). I think the company who gave me the offer is a manpower agency in Kuwait, because they told me I will be working as a Receptionist in another company in Kuwait. They asked for my full body photo, scanned copy of passport, attested police clearance which I think is the NBI Clearance, and medical certificate from GAMCA accredited clinic. They need those for the visa.
Are there really manpower agencies based in Kuwait that recruit people from the Philippines? And is the full body photo a requirement for the Receptionist position?
I am an ex-abroad from KSA and I have never been to Kuwait yet. Thank you for your time.

thor said...

@Jayrald: Thank you for visiting. I think there are recruitment or manpower agencies in Kuwait and looks like that they are not only sourcing locally but maybe within the Middle East region or even in Southeast Asia. Full body photograph I think it's not an issue. Since personality is very important as a Receptionist, maybe that's why they require a full body photo.

Good day...I just renewed my passport here in Philippines. And change my surname into my husband's name. My visa (family visa) was in my old passport where I was using my maiden name. I am going back to Kuwait next month. Is there will be a problem with different surname in my visa and in my new passport? I hope you can help me. Thank you

Ehltoni said...

Hi, Hope you could answer my inquiry. I am based here in Kuwait and would like to ask about authentication of school credentials sa Kuwait embassy. I already had it authenticated by DFA, but upon searching on procedures, kailangan pa pala i-authenticate sa Kuwait Embassy -Manila (which I failed to do) before Phil Embassy here in Kuwait could authenticate it and later on translated and stamped by Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait. What might be the procedure if I would have my sister go to the Kuwait embassy to have it authenticated?

Anonymous said...

Sorry for the late reply. Good to know that you will be able to bring you son. Yes, you need to visit Kuwait Embassy but please call them before visiting to know which documents you need to provide. No medical requirements for ages 11 yrs old and below but reconfirm with the Kuwait Embassy..

@Edith Hernandez:
Sorry for the late reply. I wish I could help you but with regard to change of status, I would suggest to coordinate with Kuwait Embassy to get the right procedures. I hope you are able to travel.

@Ehltoni:
Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest to issue an SPA for your sister to act on your behalf in order to process your documents in Phils. SPA could be obtained in Phil. Embassy-Kuwait.

thor said...

@Anonymous did 07 Sept. 2015
Sorry for the late reply. If they're sending the original Kuwait visa thru courier like DHL, I think it only takes three to four days.

thor said...

@Anonymous dtd 27 Nov. 2015
Sorry for the late reply. As far as I remember, it would take more than a week. I think you have to wait for the documents to be delivered back to you thru DHL. I would suggest to call them for follow up if it's really urgent.

thor said...

@Via Esmilla
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, Kuwait Embassy has a list of accredited hospitals/clinic and you have to do that thru GAMCA.

My sister-in-law would like to request a police certificate from Kuwait through the Kuwait Embassy in Manila. How much would be the cost and how long will it take to process? Also, what are the required docs that she should take with her to the Embassy? Thank you so much.

Anonymous said...

Just FYI to all who is processing DEPENDENT / FAMILY VISA in Kuwait Embassy Manila. They no longer accepts applications straight to them BUT instead they would ask you to go to their designated company called MAWARED SERVICES located same area of the embassy.

Many are dismayed about this as you will be applying with employment agencies - so hundreds of employment applicants will be processed with you SO your waiting will be minimum 3 hours before being attended to.

They, the embassy never categorize visa applications THEY SHOULD LET DEPENDENT / FAMILY OR BUSINESS VISAS be processed in the embassy straight to avoid long waiting and longer time releases.

Just my two cents.

Beng said...

@Anonymous dtd. 22 April
It would be preferred to obtain medical certs from the clinics/hospitals that are accredited by GAMCA. You may verify once more from Kuwait Embassy to clear your doubts.

thor said...

Thank you for sharing the information @ Anonymous dated 22 April 2016 regarding some changes on the processing of dependent/ family visas at Kuwait Embassy Manila.


REPOSTING:

Just FYI to all who are processing DEPENDENT / FAMILY VISAS in Kuwait Embassy Manila. They no longer accept applications directly submitted to the embassy BUT instead they would ask you to go to their authorized or designated company called MAWARED SERVICES located at the same area of the embassy.

Many were dismayed about this as you will be processing your documents along with employment agencies - so hundreds of employment applicants will be processed at the same time. The approximate waiting time would be minimum 3 hours before being attended to.

It looks like the embassy is not categorizing visa applications. THEY SHOULD ACCEPT DEPENDENT / FAMILY OR BUSINESS VISAS be processed in the embassy directly in order to avoid long waiting period that also affects the release of the completed visas.

Just my two cents.

Thor said...

@Beng:
It should not take much time, once your documents are all complete. Approx. two weeks or nearly three.

thor said...

@Anonymous dated 14 May:
I would suggest completing the process of the visa so you could travel together. Btw, are you in Kuwait or Manila..? Bit confused of your location where you have started the process of the visa.

Thor said...

@Anonymous dated 16 May 2016:
Please call Kuwait Embassy at once to confirm from them. I'm not sure if they keep one courier company or they change every year.

thor said...

@Serafin Cunanan:
Is that a working, dependent or visit visa? You may call Kuwait Embassy for verification and check list, they may require you to courier or visit them personally.

Hi, good day. Im Mr. Allan Q. Madrideo, 39 yrs old, residing here Saskathewan, Canada. I applied a Police Certificate in the Philippines in your good office last March 9, 2016 one month before I landed here in Canada last April 20, 2016. In Sep. 9, 2016 it will turn 6 months. I need it very badly because Canadian embassy is giving me an deadline bafore Sept 23, 2016 to submit it and secure my permanent residency. That is the only one remaining requirements I am waiting for to be release.
Is there anybody could give me an advice? Anyone could tell me what is the reason why its take too long??
Please, I begging you out there in kuwait embassy for giving me a quick reply. Even a little paragraph or words to enlighten me.
Thank you very much for understanding.

Best regards,
Allan q. M.

Hi Mr Allan,
Since your requirement is urgent, I would suggest that you should be in touch with one of your friends in Kuwait. I'm not fully familiar with the procedures regarding your case.
Hope all will go well. Cheers.
