法国(France) 前往科威特(Kuwait) 签证要求

Q: How long can I stay in Kuwait on the tourist eVisa?

Up to 90 days from your date of entry. The visa itself must be used within roughly 30 days of issue.

Q: How much does the Kuwait tourist eVisa cost?

About 3 Kuwaiti dinars (roughly EUR 9), paid online by card. A small payment surcharge may apply.

Q: Should I use the eVisa or visa on arrival?

The eVisa is recommended because it is approved before you fly, avoiding airport queues and the risk of refusal at the counter.

Q: Is the Kuwait tourist eVisa single or multiple entry?

It is single entry. If you leave and want to return, you must obtain a new visa.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Kuwait?

No. Kuwait is not in the Schengen area, so those EU rules and ETIAS are not relevant to entering Kuwait.

French (ordinary) passport holders need a visa for Kuwait, but they qualify for the cheap online tourist eVisa (about 3 KWD) and can alternatively obtain a visa on arrival. Apply online a few days before travel for the smoothest entry. Kuwait is not visa-free for French citizens, but France is on Kuwait's eligible list for the electronic visa and for visa on arrival. The recommended route is the official tourist eVisa via kuwaitvisa.moi.gov.kw: it is a single-entry visa costing roughly 3 Kuwaiti dinars, must be used within about 30 days of issue, and permits a stay of up to 90 days from entry. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months on the date of arrival. Visa on arrival at Kuwait International Airport remains available to EU/Schengen nationals as a fallback, but applying online beforehand avoids airport queues and the risk of refusal at the counter. Kuwait is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
