Foreign Direct Investment
Your gateway to investing in Kuwait.
We guide foreign investors entering the Kuwaiti market, from choosing the right structure and securing licences under the Direct Investment Promotion Law (Law No. 116 of 2013) and KDIPA, to incentives, land and premises, and the long-term investor residency now available under Cabinet Resolution No. 651 of 2026. We bring the corporate, regulatory, tax, and immigration workstreams a new entrant needs into a single plan.
