Kuwait Transit Visa

Kuwait Transit Visa

If you are heading through Kuwait en route to another destination, you might need to get a Transit Visa.  If you scroll down on this page here at the Kuwait Ministry, you will find a good write-up on the latest fees and what is required to get this type of visa.

(Go to my Kuwait visa page for information on other types of visas for Kuwait.)

I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Kuwait Transit Visa.

  • Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Kuwait:  No.
    • If you are a U.S. citizen, you can get a visa on arrival in Kuwait.  There is no need to get one beforehand.
