My Canadian study permit was approved and I have a visa for it in my passport. I have transit one in Kuwait and one in Frankfurt. Will I need a transit visa for Kuwait? It's a one hour stop. Doha to Kuwait to Frankfurt to calgary I believe my visa will be enough to transit through Frankfurt.

3Possible duplicate of I am a Pakistani National traveling to Canada to study and will transit through schengen countries. Do I need transit visa? Why did you feel the need to repost the same question again ? The other query has links to answer your queries.– DumbCoderCommented Aug 29, 2017 at 14:53

4@DumbCoder: I don't think this is a duplicate of the one you propose, as this one asks specifically about Kuwait while the other question was marked as a duplicate of Schengen-related questions. And since site policy is to ask multiple questions in separate posting, I would say that the OP is doing things correctly.– Michael SeifertCommented Aug 29, 2017 at 16:28

@DumbCoder "Do I need a transit visa in Kuwait?" is absolutely not a duplicate of "Do I need a Schengen transit visa?" How is that even remotely the same question? Please retract your close vote.– David RicherbyCommented Aug 30, 2017 at 20:40

According to Timatic, Kuwait allows Pakistani nationals to transit without visa, so long as they hold an onward ticket:
Transit - Kuwait (KW)
Visa
Visa required.
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours. In case of transit connections beyond 8 hours, passengers must remain airside and be accommodated in the airport transit hotel.
Warning: Passengers with an article-14 visa in their passport are not allowed to re-enter Kuwait with this visa even if it is still valid. The article-14 visa is an exit permit.
