🛂 Swiss Passport & Identity Document Services
Swiss citizens living in Kuwait can obtain information about passport and identity-document services through the responsible Swiss consular representation.
The FDFA currently publishes Kuwait-denominated fees for Swiss identity documents. For example, the published fee for an adult Swiss passport is KWD 44, while an adult identity card is KWD 21; a combined passport and identity-card application is KWD 46. Fees can change with exchange-rate adjustments.
About the embassy
Switzerland’s embassy serves Swiss citizens in Kuwait and handles diplomatic and commercial contact between the two countries. Switzerland is part of the Schengen area but not the European Union, so Swiss visa arrangements follow the Schengen rules while its other policies are its own. The official Kuwaiti listing gives the telephone number as 2534 0172 followed by “3 / 4 / 5”, which we read as four consecutive lines.
Address and location
Kuwait Government Online gives the address as Qurtuba Area, Block 2, 1st Street, House 122. Georgia’s embassy is also in Block 2 of Qurtuba, at First Street, Avenue 3, Villa 6, and the Comoros embassy is on Street 1, so the block holds three missions that all refer to the first street in some way. Use the house number to find the Swiss embassy. We found no P.O. Box or landmark that we could verify.
Contact information
The official Kuwaiti listing gives the telephone number as 25340172 followed by 3, 4 and 5. We read that as +965 2534 0172, 2534 0173, 2534 0174 and 2534 0175, but if one of the later lines does not connect, try the first. 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. Swiss public holidays, such as the National Day on 1 August, 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 Swiss 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
Entry rules for Switzerland depend on nationality and purpose of travel. Switzerland is a Schengen state, and the rules, forms and fees are set by the Swiss and Schengen authorities, so this listing does not state them. Contact the embassy and use the Swiss government’s official channels, and avoid third-party sites that charge extra.
Before you visit
- Telephone first, starting with the first number, to confirm the hours and whether you need an appointment.
- Use the house number, 122, to find the embassy on 1st Street.
- Bring your original passport, your Kuwait civil ID if you live in Kuwait, and any documents the embassy asks for.
