Visiting Kuwait: Maltese citizen → Kuwait
You can get the tourist eVisa online — or a visa on arrival
Malta passport holders are on Kuwait's official eligible-countries list: get the tourist eVisa on the official Kuwait Visa platform (kuwaitvisa.moi.gov.kw) or a visa on arrival at Kuwait International Airport — 3 KWD, single entry, valid one month from issuance, stay up to three months from entry.
The bottom line
- Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Kuwait.
- The tourist visa is single entry, valid one month from issuance, and allows a stay of up to three months from the date of entry; the 3 KWD fee may vary by nationality.
- Online applications are typically decided in 1–2 business days; fees are only collected once the application is accepted and are then non-refundable.
- Overstaying costs 10 Kuwaiti Dinars per day and can bring a re-entry ban.
