    Every visitor don't come to Kuwait to get benefits from free medical services, by the way what are the best medical services provided in Kuwait? I been worked in Kuwait for 9 years, and during my stay 9 years in Kuwait I never benefited any major medical services except fever and cough. I had piles and when I went to Abu halifa hospital the so called Dr. Said this case will transfer to Al sabha hospital. When I went to Al sabha hospital the Dr. Advised me to get the scissoring surgery immediately when I asked them to make laser surgery the Dr. Said they don't have this facilities, I rejected and went to my home country on emergency vacation and I done laser surgery in my country. We have better medical services than Kuwait in reasonable price, why our parents will visit to Kuwait for the medical services. No need to think that everyone visiting to get free medical services, they are visiting to meet and stay few weeks with their children and relatives only.

    I think that the US and the UK should do the same with Kuwaiti visitors. Start imposing the same laws on Kuwaiti travellers and residents. It is getting ridiculous here. Our family members can not come to visit us. What is next? Just stop allowing them to get free medical care while they are here. Big deal. There are enough private medical facilities. If someone was intelligent, they would offer Kuwait traveller medical insurance.

    I think there should be a correction in news. They say, visit visa is not issueing for the people who born before 1950. Not for the age above 50years. Please confirm it.

    A person has money to come Kuwait can afford his own medical there isn't any logic and more ever I would prefer medical in my country India rather than Kuwait . Doesn't makes sense,they are just giving us lame excuses, we can afford medical on our money.

    I have never known that there is free medical for visitors, and being over 50 doesn't mean some one needs treatment , my sister is 23 and when ever she is he she get bad cold or chest infections while she is just fine n quite healthy back home, we take her to private hospitals n pay full amoynt for it all, and so what if its free for certain cases espcially emergencies , we live in the richest country in the world according to my banker husband , I am not asking them to spend there money on forginers but treating people the way they do is beyond imagination

    Such a backward decision instead of just requiring medical travel
    Insurance of visitors, this is really discrimination at its best!

    Scott James: Because that would make sense! No free medical to visitors, as is typical all over the world, case closed. Nope, no visitors over the age of 50 punishes everybody rather than the guilty

    So my father can't come to visit me now? Why wouldn't you just stop free medical benefits to visitors and make it mandatory for visitors to have travel medical insurance to get a visa?
