🇪🇬 Egypt visa requirements for Kuwaiti citizens

Entry rules for Kuwait passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Kuwait can travel to Egypt for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 180 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 180-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Egypt, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Egypt immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Kuwaiti passport ranks #96 worldwide, opening 98 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (57 visa-free, 37 with a visa on arrival and 4 with an eTA). Egypt is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Egyptian citizens need to arrange entry to Kuwait in advance (visa required).

Across Northern Africa as a whole, 4 of 6 destinations are open to Kuwaiti travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
