Kuwaiti visa policy for American citizens

US citizens need a visa to visit Kuwait, and the most convenient option for short tourist or business trips is the Kuwait eVisa, which can be obtained online before departure. Kuwait also offers a visa on arrival option at Kuwait International Airport for eligible travelers, but applying in advance helps ensure smoother entry.

iVisa offers one entry document for US travelers:

Kuwait eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa that allows United States citizens to enter Kuwait for short-term tourism or business visits of up to 90 days. It must be approved before travel and helps avoid delays at the airport.

General Kuwait visa requirements for US travelers are:
A United States passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay
