The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs manages Hajj registration for Kuwaiti citizens and residents. Applications are submitted through licensed Hajj campaigns (hamlat). Requirements include valid passport, vaccination records, and biometric data submission.
Hajj campaigns (hamlat) are licensed by the Ministry of Awqaf. Each campaign is led by an experienced mutawwif. The ministry publishes a list of approved campaigns annually with package details and pricing.
Kuwait has a well-organized Hajj campaign system with government oversight. The government subsidizes costs for first-time Kuwaiti pilgrims. Overland travel by bus through Saudi Arabia is popular and takes approximately 8 hours. Kuwait's Hajj missions provide medical teams that accompany pilgrim groups.
