Kuwait eVisa Requirements for Citizens of the United States

Before applying for the Kuwait eVisa, we recommend Americans to read through the visa requirements for US travelers. These conditions are highly accessible to international visitors and very easy to meet. Applicants must confirm they possess the following documentation:

• A US passport valid for at least 190 days on the application date
• A digital copy of the passport’s biographical page
• A current email address
• A bank card to pay the service fee for the Kuwait eVisa

The requirement for the passport’s validity’ length is essential. Americans with a passport with a validity inferior to 190 days when they are applying for the Kuwait eVisa should send it for renewal as soon as possible with their local authorities. They should also store a digital version of their passport’s biographical page ready before applying.

We recommend they request their eVisa with an email id they frequently use since all the communications will be done online. Lastly, the bank card they will use to pay the service fee for the eVisa needs to be authorized for international transactions beforehand.

US travelers must note that their passports will be electronically linked to the Kuwait eVisa once their application has been processed and approved by the Kuwaiti authorities. They will only be granted entry in Kuwait with the same passport they used during their eVisa request.

US nationals can begin the application process of the Kuwait electronic visa by completing an online form with their personal, passport, and travel details. American passport holders will be required to provide proof of their accommodation in Kuwait while completing the online questionnaire.

Travelers from the US should carefully review their answers on the Kuwait eVisa form and ensure that the information matches that shown on their US passport.

American traveling parties with minors should note that each visitor must obtain their individual Kuwait eVisa. The parents or legal guardians of any underage citizen can submit their form on their behalf without any issues.

US applicants with an approved Kuwait eVisa will receive a confirmation email with their electronic visa attached. They must print out a copy and keep it next to their travel documents before their departure.

The evaluation process for the Kuwait eVisa can take from 24 to 72 hours. We recommend American tourists to apply at least 5 business days before their arrival to account for any delays during busy touristic periods.

Please note that once they receive the eVisa, Americans have 30 days to enter Kuwait. If their arrival is later than this period, the eVisa is annulled, and they will require a new one. They should also plan their departure to be no longer than 3 months after entering the country since the maximum number of days they can remain in the country is 90.

Upon reaching border controls, American visitors will be required to submit their passport and printed eVisa for inspection before being granted entry into the country. We recommend they safe-keep their printed eVisa with them at all times while in the country.
