Address and location
Kuwait Government Online gives the address as Daiya Area, Block 3, Ahmed Shawqi Street, House 10. This is in Daiya but in Block 3, not in Block 5, where most of the Arab and other European embassies are grouped, so it is outside that cluster. Ahmed Shawqi Street is named for an Egyptian poet. We found no P.O. Box or landmark that we could verify.
Contact information
The official Kuwaiti listing gives two telephone numbers, +965 2255 2532 and 2253 2761. We found no conflicting numbers, but we also found few other directory entries for this embassy. We did not find an email address, fax number or website that we could confirm, so none is published here.
Opening hours
We found no opening hours from an official page or from a directory we could trust. Austrian public holidays, such as the National Day on 26 October, may close the embassy on days when Kuwait is open, so ask which days and hours it keeps before you go.
Services
As a full embassy it provides consular support to Austrian citizens in Kuwait. We could not confirm a list of individual services, fees or required documents from an official page, so this listing does not describe them. Ask when you telephone which services are offered in person and whether you need an appointment.
Visa information Embassy of Austria in Kuwait
Entry rules for Austria depend on nationality and purpose of travel. It is a Schengen state, so the rules, forms and fees are set by the Austrian and Schengen authorities, and this listing does not state them. Contact the embassy and use the Austrian government’s official channels, and avoid third-party sites that charge extra.
