Hi Rizvi,

You can get on arrival visa only if you are Prime Minister of Pakistan.
other than that we are sorry to say there is no concept for on arrival visa in Kuwait particularly for Pakistani what ever Job title is mentioned on your Iqama.

You can get visa on arrival if you have a passport from a developed country.

Qureshi replied on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 07:26 AM 

Rizvi Sb,

Kuwait will not grant visa to Pakistani upon arrival even if GM is written on you Iqama. Please follow the regular formality to acquire visit visa, prior to your visit to avoid any possible inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Qureshi

Simply, just please check with the Kuwaiti embassy in Riyadh - this would be the most reliable and cheapest source.

Plz visit SEPCO Buss station nearest to your place. They can confirm you or check with any airline. As per my knowledge if your profession is engineer in SAN you can travel any GCC country. Nationality is not a issue

Dear Rizvi,
As per my information, you have to get the visa from Kuwait embassy (Riyadh) before going to Kuwait weather traveling by air or by road.
Few years back, it was stamped on the Khafji border (if going by road) but not now.

Brother Rizvi and all my friends.
It is my first post on this site. I am OMAN resident Pakistani Passport and worked in KSA, Bahrain, UAE and now working in Oman.

Please find here all details for Pakistan Passport Holder
Saudi Arabia: KSA is not provided on arrival visa for all the countries and the main reason of Hajj and Umrah Control.
Bahrain: There is no on arrival Visa of Pakistan Passport holder. You can get by apply online on their website or embassy in Riyadh or your family will apply in Bahrain in LMRA office with his all document (company letter, passport etc ..) and also with all your relevant document (your company salary certificate, your passport, your residence card) and It is 100% chances for getting the visa if he has professional CPR.
UAE: Every Engr. can get on arrival visa if he is travelling from any other GCC country.
Qatar: Engr. can get on arrival visa with Pakistan passport holder having validity of passport and residence/work permit more than 6 months and also he completed at least more than one years in any GCC country.
At the end Kuwait: There is no on arrival Visa of Pakistan Passport holder. You can get if your family will apply in Kuwait with his document (company letter, passport etc ..) RO ONLY your relevant document (your company salary certificate, your passport, your residence card) are enough and It is 100% chances for getting the visa.
Oman: There is no on arrival visa for Pakistan passport. Your sponsor should need to apply in oman or you need to apply in embassy for visit visa.
(Note: Validity of passport and residence/work permit should be more than 6 months or it depends on embassies requirement)

Hope this information is enough for all my freinds. If you have any other question please free to ask.

Best Regards.

Dear Rizvi, As mention above Mr. Milo. You need to contact with Kuwait embassy as some time rules are totally different for different countries due to nearest border requirement. Like KSA resident can travel to Bahrain by road and by air and he will also get on arrival visa if he has valid re-entry visa stamp on his passport.

Different rules will be apply also if I will travelling by road to Kuwait I need both KSA and Kuwait visa. By road I will travel first to UAE and then KSA (Need Visa) and then Kuwait (again need Visa)

Best Regards,
RA

Wrong information posted by RA in a very confident manner. He doesn't use words like may be or probably. Strange!

For Bahrain and Oman, you can get short term visit visa on arrival on Pakistani passport having valid UAE residency.

Saad replied on Sunday, September 28, 2014 05:57 PM 

Not anymore. They have stopped giving on arrival visa to nationalities other than 34 countries. I went to Kuwait by road from Jubail (KSA) back in 2008 and at that time I did get the visa on arrival. However now they have stopped giving visa on arrival even through air as well. Zardari government played their role in making the situation worse. They were too lazy to satisfy Kuwaiti government's requirements and security and drug traffic.

As far as I know, at the moment Pakistani nationals can only get visa for family and commercial (business visa).

Aamir Abbas replied on Sunday, September 28, 2014 06:00 PM 

According to my information you need an invitation letter from any of your friend relative in Kuwait.
Few years back the immigration requirement was only Engineer, Doctor, Accounts professionals with valid hotel booking.

Hammad Asghar replied on Monday, September 29, 2014 03:01 AM 

Dear Mr. Rizvi,

Visa on arrival for GCC residents in Kuwait is possible like other GCC countries. But kindly note that visas for Pakistanis are ban in Kuwait, they are not issuing any kind of visas to Pakistanis for past 4 years, so in summary you cannot enter Kuwait on a Pakistani passport.

Thanks and regards,
