Obtaining an Australian visa in Kuwait

The eVisa system enables citizens of Bahrain, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the United Arab Emirates to apply for and receive tourist visas electronically. The benefits of the eVisa system are:

you do not need to visit a visa office at any time;

you do not need to send your passport for visa processing;

you can lodge your application at any time from any computer connected to the internet;

you can pay for your application online with accepted credit cards through the secure eVisa site;

you can check the status of your application online at any time;

you will receive advice on the outcome of your application by email;

you do not need to have a visa label affixed in your passport prior to travel; having received electronic approval, you will receive your visa on arrival in Australia.

eVisas are available for tourist stays of up to 12 months, depending on the purpose of the visit and the applicant's ability to support themselves whilst in Australia.
