US passport holders can obtain an eVisa before travel or a visa on arrival at Kuwait International Airport (KWI). The tourist eVisa is applied for at evisa.moi.gov.kw and costs KWD 3 (about $10). It allows a single entry for up to 90 days within a 3-month validity. Processing takes 1 to 3 working days. Visa on arrival costs the same KWD 3, payable at the kiosk before immigration. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. A return or onward ticket and proof of hotel reservation are required.
The eVisa saves time at the airport, especially during peak travel periods around holidays. Kuwait does not stamp passports that have Israeli stamps or entry slips, and entry may be refused if there is evidence of travel to Israel. Kuwait's weekend is Friday and Saturday. The Kuwait Towers, Souq Al-Mubarakiya (the oldest market in Kuwait City), and the Grand Mosque are the main city attractions. Failaka Island, a 1-hour ferry from Ras Al-Ard, has archaeological sites dating to the Bronze Age.
