Russian visa for Kuwaiti citizens — applying in
Spain
Quick answer
A Kuwaiti citizen in Spain does not normally need to visit a consulate — Kuwait is eligible for Russia's online e-Visa (about USD 52, issued in ~4 days). A standard visa, applied for at a Russian consulate in Spain, is only needed for work, study or longer stays.
