The Kuwaiti government has temporarily suspended its electronic visa (e-Visa) service to implement updates and improvements, Wego reports. According to an official statement on the evisa.moi.gov.kw portal, the suspension aims to enhance the system and better meet visitor expectations.
While no specific timeline has been announced, authorities have assured that eligible travelers can still obtain a Tourist Visa upon arrival. Nationals from 53 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and most European nations, can benefit from this alternative.
To obtain a Visa on Arrival at Kuwait City International Airport, travelers must present a passport valid for six months, a return or onward ticket, and pay a visa fee of 3 Kuwaiti dinars (KWD). The single-entry tourist visa allows a stay of up to three months.
For travelers planning a visit to Kuwait during this transitional period, it is recommended to confirm visa eligibility in advance and prepare the necessary documents to ensure a smooth process upon arrival. For additional details about Kuwait VOA, readers can refer to the dedicated guide below.
