Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish travellers can obtain a short-stay visa for Kuwait, preferably as an e-Visa requested online before departure, with visa on arrival also possible.
Kuwait issues Danish nationals a short-stay visa, available online and/or on arrival. Applicants from Denmark are best advised to obtain the e-Visa before flying to Kuwait City to avoid airport queues. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
A Danish citizen needs a visa to enter Kuwait. Two routes exist: an e-Visa requested online before travel, which is recommended, or a visa on arrival issued at the airport for eligible nationalities. Check the permitted length of stay on the official source.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa is applied for on the Kuwait Ministry of Interior online portal. The Danish traveller creates an account, enters passport and itinerary details, then submits the request. Visa on arrival is obtained directly at the counters of Kuwait International Airport.
Documents and fees
Have a passport valid for six months, an accommodation address and a return ticket ready. The fee is not fixed here — check the amount shown on the official portal or at the arrival counters.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is usually processed within a few days; allow at least a week. Print the authorisation and keep a digital copy. Choosing the e-Visa over visa on arrival greatly reduces waiting time at the airport.
Common mistakes
Don't assume visa on arrival is always guaranteed — rules can change by nationality. Use only the official government portal. Check the six-month passport validity before booking.
