Your Kuwait eVisa is a digital document granting you authorisation to enter Kuwait. The eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued. Within this window, you may enter Kuwait once and remain for up to 30 days.

This travel permission is electronically linked to your passport. Your passport serves as your travel document, and immigration officials will verify your eVisa status upon arrival.
