The Embassy of India in Kuwait has announced that all Indian passport applications must now be submitted exclusively through the new Global Passport Seva Program (GPSP 2.0), replacing the previous application portal.

Starting October 18, the old portal system will no longer be accepted at Indian Consular Application Centers located in Kuwait City, Fahaheel, Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, and Jahra.

For Those Who Applied Using the Old Portal

The Embassy urged all Indian nationals residing in Kuwait to switch to the updated service immediately to avoid delays.
