Kuwait visa policy

The Kuwait visa policy includes a range of options depending on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and the length of your stay.

Nationals from eligible countries can travel to Kuwait for up to 90 days for tourism by applying online for an eVisa. In many cases, travelers from these countries may also obtain a visa on arrival when entering Kuwait by air.

FAQs

What is the Kuwait eVisa and who needs it?

The Kuwait eVisa is an online electronic visa that allows eligible travelers to obtain visas for tourism, family visits, business, and official government purposes without needing to visit an embassy or consulate. Citizens of eligible countries – including many Western, Asian, and GCC countries – can apply online or, in some cases, obtain a visa upon arrival.

Can I extend my stay after entering Kuwait with an eVisa?

No. The Kuwait eVisa cannot be extended. Traveler wishing to stay in Kuwait for more than 90 days should apply for the relevant visa.

Do I need a Kuwait visa or an eVisa if I am a citizen of a GCC country?

GCC citizens (Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait) do not require a visa to enter Kuwait and may even use their national ID cards instead of passports.

Do I need a Kuwait eVisa or visa for airport transit?

If you're remaining in the international transit area and not leaving the airport, you typically do not need a visa. But if you plan to exit the airport during a layover, you must apply for a Kuwait Transit Visa.
