How to Check Travel Bans in Kuwait

The year-end will once again see a lot of people, typically families  leaving or entering  Kuwait for vacation getaways. But before you decide on where to visit next for your holiday time-off, have you considered checking if you have an existing travel ban on your records? 

If so, you might be legally arrested upon leaving or entering Kuwait at all state ports. In this article, we will talk about how you can check if you are banned from traveling to and from Kuwait.

How to Check Travel Ban in Kuwait

Traveling Overseas? Check Your Status If You’re Allowed to Do So

Perhaps one of the most dreadful things that could happen to any person, especially migrant workers, is getting arrested for something that you might have forgotten to settle in the past ( i.e. debt or loan in the bank, shops, etc.)

This is something that happens in real life, mind you, especially in a country such as Kuwait because of something known as a  travel ban .

A travel ban is an order issued by the authorities to all the state ports to prohibit a person from entering or leaving a country according to a court or police order for the protection of individual interests in cases like child custody, debt failure, or criminal investigation.

This only means that those who are sanctioned by the government with a travel ban are prohibited from leaving the country and may be arrested while entering if the reason(s) for prohibition is not settled right away.

Here are the procedures to perform to check if you have a travel ban in Kuwait:

  • Visit the Kuwait government’s online portal ( here ).
  • Input your VALID Civil ID number in the blank field provided.
  • Copy the text that was shown after you submitted your Civil ID number.
  • Click this  link  to open Google Translate services in a new tab on your browser.
  • Paste the Arabic text you copied from  e.gov.kw  and click the translate button for the message.

It’s as simple as that!

Now, once you’ve checked (just to be sure) that you can travel anytime you want to and are clear of any state restrictions – then good for you!

However, if you did incur a travel ban in your record, say for example, for an unpaid fine, then you can immediately settle this at any Interior Ministry services centers. Once settled in this manner, the ban will be immediately lifted, unless you course your settlement through the Justice Ministry where the ban will only be lifted a day  after  you’ve settled your payment.

Best practice before traveling to and from Kuwait:  check if you have a travel ban first  before booking a flight or getting on that plane! You don’t want to end up in jail or be detained at the airport, right?

  • The Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh area in Kuwait City due to  crime .

Due to risks to civil aviation operating within the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman region, including Kuwait, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an advisory Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) and/or a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR). For more information U.S. citizens should consult the  Federal Aviation Administration’s Prohibitions, Restrictions and Notices .

Read the  country information page  for additional information on travel to Kuwait.

If you decide to travel to Kuwait:

  • Be aware of your surroundings.
  • Stay alert in locations frequented and venues frequented by large groups of people and travelers or tourists.
  • Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)  to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
  • Follow the Department of State on  Facebook   and  Twitter .

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

As of June 9, 2022, the Kuwaiti government has resumed issuing visas on arrival to U.S. citizens visiting Kuwait. The visas are free for U.S. citizens and allow the visa holder to stay up to three months in Kuwait. To obtain a visa on arrival, U.S. citizens arriving in Kuwait must:

  • Have a return ticket
  • Not be restricted from entry to Kuwait
  • Have a passport valid for at least six months after the date of arrival in Kuwait
  • Provide the address of the place they will stay in Kuwait

Visit the  Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority website  for more information.

Visit the website of the  Embassy of Kuwait  in Washington, DC, and its Consulates General in Los Angeles and New York City for the most current visa information.

Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Kuwait. Residency permits require an HIV/AIDS test and permits may be denied if applicants test positive. If HIV-related illness becomes known, the resident must leave the country or be deported.

Please see the  CDC's travel page  for more travel-related health information.

Residence Permits/Civil IDs:  U.S. citizens seeking residency in Kuwait should have all the required legal documents authenticated the  Department of State Office of Authentications  and attested by the Embassy of Kuwait in Washington, DC or the Consulates General in Los Angeles or New York before arriving in Kuwait. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait cannot provide this service.

If you are a resident and lose your new Civil ID and/or U.S. passport while outside of Kuwait, you must obtain a No Objection Certificate from the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Kuwait to enter as a resident since losing your U.S. passport invalidates your Civil ID. You may enter using a U.S. emergency passport.

Department of Defense Travelers:  The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait strongly advises active members of the U.S. military and military contractors arriving or departing on military air to contact the Theater Gateway office at 2221-6340 to ensure they go through the proper entrance or exit procedures in Kuwait.

Find information on  dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction , and  customs regulations  on our website.

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack- including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is vulnerable or unprotected targets, such as:

  • High profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
  • Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
  • Places of worship
  • Shopping malls and markets
  • Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

Potential for Terrorist Activity: Kuwait continues to face the threat of terrorism. Terrorists may target U.S. citizens and interests in the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula.

For more information see our Terrorism  page.

Crime: Criminal activity is low. Nonetheless, reported incidents include petty theft, car break-ins, and harassment or sexual assault of women traveling alone.

The Embassy recommends that U.S. government personnel exercise increased caution in the Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh area in Kuwait City due to crime. See the Kuwait Travel Advisory for more information.

Desert Region Near the Border of Iraq: U.S. government personnel are prohibited from personal travel within five kilometers of the Kuwait-Iraq border. See the Kuwait Travel Advisory for more information.

International Financial Scams: See the Department of State and the FBI pages for more information.

Internet romance and financial scams are prevalent in Kuwait. Scams are often initiated through Internet postings/profiles or by unsolicited emails and letters. Scammers almost always pose as U.S. citizens who have no one else to turn to for help. Common scams include:

  • Romance/online dating
  • Money transfers

Victims of Crime: U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to the local police at 112 and contact the Embassy at 2259-1001. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

  • Help you find appropriate medical care
  • Assist you in reporting a crime to the police
  • Contact relatives or friends with your written consent
  • Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion.
  • Provide a list of local attorneys
  • Provide our information on victim’s compensation programs in the U.S.
  • Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution
  • Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home
  • Replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence: Victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.

Tourism: The tourism industry is generally regulated according to best practices and safety inspections and rules are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, adequate medical treatment is available throughout the country. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. Individuals who violate local laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits and licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

Alcohol and Drugs:

  • Possession of alcohol and/or narcotics is illegal.
  • Convictions for possession, use, and trafficking of drugs may include heavy fines, long jail sentences, or the death penalty.

The following actions are illegal and may also lead to prosecution, imprisonment, and immediate deportation:

  • Humiliating or insulting any person verbally or through obscene gestures in a public place, including a police officer, public official, or private citizen.
  • Taking pictures or video clips of government buildings, military installations, and oil-related infrastructure or of people without the subject’s knowledge or consent.
  • Having unpaid debts.
  • Driving without a Kuwait driver’s license after obtaining a residence permit.
  • Prostitution and pornography.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

Travel Bans:  Business disputes, court orders to pay a settlement, immigration violations, or government investigations into both criminal and civil issues may result in the imposition of a travel ban, which will prohibit departure from Kuwait until the issue is resolved and the travel ban is lifted. U.S. citizens in Kuwait who are involved in disputes or investigations can check whether they have a travel ban by entering their civil ID number on the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior website, found here . Since multiple Kuwaiti government agencies can impose travel bans, this database is not exhaustive. More information on travel bans in Kuwait is available here . 

Children Born Out of Wedlock: Sexual relations outside of marriage are a criminal offense. Parents may not be able to obtain a Kuwait birth certificate or residence permit for a child born out of wedlock and may be subject to prosecution and/or fines to document the birth of the child.

Customs: Alcohol, pork products, and pornography are prohibited.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also pay fines or have to give them up if you bring them back to the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.

Faith-Based Travelers: See the following webpages for details:

  • Faith-Based Travel Information
  • International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
  • Human Rights Report – see country reports
  • Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
  • Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTQI+ Travelers: Consensual same-sex sexual activity between men is illegal. The law punishes consensual intercourse between men of full age (21 and older) with imprisonment of up of to seven years. Men of full age who engage in consensual intercourse with men under age 21 may be imprisoned up to ten years. No laws criminalize same-sex sexual activity between women. Some LGBTQI+ travelers have reported difficulties entering Kuwait on a passport bearing a name and photo that do not correspond to their gender identity or expression.  Transgender individuals have reported harassment, detention, abuse, and assault by security forces.  Societal discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity is common.

See our LGBTI Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report on Kuwait for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance: Accessibility and accommodations in Kuwait are different from those in the United States. The law prohibits discrimination against persons with permanent physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental disabilities in employment, education, air travel and other transportation, access to health care, or the provision of other government services. The law also mandates access to buildings for persons with disabilities.

 Public transportation is generally inaccessible for patrons with disabilities. Accessible parking spaces are marked, but often unavailable. Most medical facilities and public buildings have wheelchair ramps and elevators. Access to sign language interpretation is limited; Americans needing American Sign Language interpretation should plan ahead and have contact information for companies offering distance interpretation services through mobile phone apps, video phones, and other modalities.

Students: See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers: Many public places have dress codes for women requiring shoulders and knees to be covered. Women, especially those traveling alone, should exercise particular caution on public transit, when traveling via taxi, and in conservative or isolated areas. See our travel tips for Women Travelers .

Healthcare is adequate and accessible both in the government-run system and many private institutions. The government facilities provide services for foreigners at reasonable costs, and payment for all services is expected in advance. Government facilities offer more specialty care services, though wait times are often long and difficult to access for non-nationals. Psychological and psychiatric services are limited, even in the larger cities, with hospital-based care only available through government institutions. Some medical services are below U.S. standards. Most prescription and over-the-counter medicines are readily available at pharmacies. Emergency services are generally very responsive.

  • For emergency services in Kuwait, dial  112 .
  • Ambulance services are widely available in certain areas but training and availability of emergency responders may be below U.S. standards.

We do not pay medical bills:  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers in Kuwait will accept cash or credit card payments. See our webpage for more  information on insurance providers for overseas coverage . Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the  Embassy of Kuwait  in Washington, DC, the  Consulate General of Kuwait in Los Angeles ,  the Consulate General of Kuwait in New York City , or the Kuwait General Administration for Customs (Email :  [email protected] . Telephone: (+965) 24955000, Fax: (+965) 24838056) to ensure the medication is legal in Kuwait.

Vaccinations:  Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC) and the  Kuwait Ministry of Health . Please note that Kuwait’s vaccination requirements for residents are different and may require more inoculations than recommended by the CDC.

Further health information:

  • World Health Organization
  • U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Air Quality:  Visit  AirNow Department of State  for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates. Air pollution is a significant problem in Kuwait. Consider the impact seasonal smog and heavy particulate pollution may have on you, and consult your doctor before traveling if necessary.

People at the greatest risk from particle pollution exposure include:

  • Infants, children, and teens
  • People over 65 years of age
  • People with lung disease such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
  • People with heart disease or diabetes
  • People who work or are active outdoors

The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of private medical and dental clinics , and the Kuwaiti government maintains a list of  hospitals  and  pharmacies . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety: Driving in Kuwait is extremely hazardous due to excessive speeding, distracted driving, road rage, lax enforcement of traffic regulations, and a high volume of traffic. All major highways in Kuwait are dangerous due to excessive speeding. Roads have adequate signage. Passersby and emergency personnel react to accidents appropriately. Exercise increased caution when driving at night as some drivers do no use headlights. Drivers should avoid driving after heavy rainstorms or through standing water, be alert for flooded areas, and monitor local media for road closures and weather updates.

Traffic Laws:

  • You are required to have your driver’s license with you at all times when operating a vehicle. There are no exceptions.
  • Driving while intoxicated can result in fines, imprisonment, deportation, and/or revocation of your Kuwait driving license.
  • It is against the law to use cell phones or text while driving.
  • Use of seat belts is mandatory.
  • Requests for bribes are uncommon.
  • In case of emergency or traffic accident, call 112 .
  • Involvement in an accident, whether or not you are at fault, can lead to arrest and detention. Immediately notify the police and remain at the scene until the police arrive.
  • If you are injured in an accident that may result in a legal claim against you or that you wish to file against another party, you must seek medical attention at a public hospital. At the public hospital, an investigator will document your injuries. Failure to do this will limit your ability to seek legal remedy for any injuries you have suffered.
  • At-fault accidents can result in arrests, demands for financial restitution, and/or travel bans preventing you from leaving Kuwait. Police at checkpoints may fine motorists arbitrarily.
  • Traffic cameras capture stop light and speeding violations.
  • Nonpayment of traffic and parking fines can result in seizure of your vehicle and travel bans. This means you cannot leave Kuwait until all fines and penalties are paid. You can pay traffic fines online through the MOI’s online portal .

Public Transportation:

  • Use only marked and licensed taxis. Taxis are available at major hotels and by telephone.
  • Do not sit in the front seat of taxis with the driver.
  • Do not allow the driver to pick up unknown passengers or enter a taxi occupied by someone in addition to the driver.
  • Be aware of the route driven by the taxi driver and ensure that the driver does not take you to an unfamiliar area.
  • As with driving personal vehicles, remember to vary routes and times when utilizing taxis.
  • Women should exercise increased caution when riding public buses due to sexual harassment.

See our Road Safety page for more information.

Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Kuwait’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Kuwait should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website and the NGA broadcast warnings website .

Travel Bans are legal prohibitions the Kuwaiti government imposes to prevent persons involved in disputes from departing the country.  They can be the result of any sort of civil or criminal dispute or immigration violation.  They are not normally lifted until the matter at issue (i.e., the civil suit, criminal case) or immigration violation is settled.

A travel ban can result from any number of causes.  For example, civil courts in Kuwait can (and do) impose travel bans over financial disputes.  Such disputes might include disputes between business partners, between borrowers and lenders, landlords and tenants, or lessors and lessees.  If a financial dispute is the basis of the travel ban, it may be possible to get the ban lifted by depositing a sum of money equal to the amount in dispute with the court.

The Kuwait Public Prosecutors Office may also impose travel bans on individuals while it is conducting criminal investigations in order to prevent them from leaving the country.  The Ministry of the Interior will also impose travel bans on those who violate their visa status by overstaying, or work without authorization.  These bans will not usually be lifted until the case at issue is concluded.  People who have travel bans for immigration violations will sometimes also find themselves in deportation proceedings.

U.S. Citizens resident in Kuwait who are involved in disputes or investigations can check whether they have a travel ban by entering their civil ID number on the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior website, found  here . Since multiple Kuwaiti government agencies can impose travel bans, this database is not exhaustive.  Often, travelers do not learn that they have a travel ban until they attempt to depart Kuwait.

The Kuwaiti government will usually not lift a travel ban until the matter under dispute is resolved.  If the resolution involves a financial penalty such as a fine, the process of getting the travel ban formally lifted can involve shuttling between various Kuwait government offices and courts to pay the fine and obtain necessary approvals.  Once the ban is lifted, the traveler is free to depart Kuwait.

Travelers can also be banned from entering Kuwait.  This can happen for many of the same reasons as exit bans.  They are a particular problem for those who have been in Kuwait previously and have not passed through Kuwaiti exit control upon their last departure from Kuwait (for example, in the cases of persons who entered via commercial air but departed via military air).  Such persons will show on immigration records as never having departed Kuwait and may appear they have overstayed their visa.  When they attempt to enter the country again, they are frequently detained.

The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait strongly advises active members of the U.S. military and military contractors arriving or departing on military air to contact the Theater Gateway office at 2221-6340 to ensure they go through the proper entrance or exit procedures in Kuwait.

Government authorities may impose transit restrictions on certain individuals for several reasons, including the following:

  • Legal Issues – The government may prohibit citizens facing criminal charges or involved in lawsuits from traveling abroad until their cases are resolved in the courts.
  • Financial Obligations – In the event of unpaid debts, fines, bills, loans, etc., individuals may be restricted from leaving the country until the debts are paid.
  • Security Threats – The entry of individuals suspected of being linked to violent groups or posing a threat to the country may be restricted.
  • Health Crises – Total flight restrictions have been enforced during pandemic health emergencies to control the spread of disease.
  • Government Orders – Specific agencies like the police may prevent access to risky areas to protect personnel safety and security. You can get a Kuwait Police Clearance Certificate before traveling.
  • Child Custody – Parents in custody battles may be temporarily disqualified from leaving the country with children.

How Long Travel Sanctions Last After Paying Fines or Loans

If you were placed on the list of traveling exclusions due to unpaid fines or loans, how long will the exclusion last after you have paid?

  • Your travel cancellation will usually be cleared within four working days.
  • If your ban continues after 4 days, visit the police station.
  • In case you’re questioned, keep receipts to prove fines/loans were paid.
  • Verify your status online a few days after paying.
  • To avoid problems, do not leave until the imposition is officially lifted.

What should I do if I can’t access the MOI website?

If you cannot access the MOI website to check your ban status, try again later. Further, if the site error persists, you should contact the Ministry of Interior, as they can check your prohibition status directly.  

Can Kuwait travel ban applicants obtain one-time special approval?

Yes, applicants with Kuwait immigration prohibitions may apply to the court for special one-time travel approval. Hence, when approved, obtain a court order in writing and show it to immigration officials when departing.  

How do you check the country ban on the MOI website? 

You can check the regulations for your home country on the Kuwait Government’s website. In the ‘Travel Advice’ section, select the country and see if any COVID-19 restrictions, visa changes, or security risks prohibit or discourage your trip.

Conclusion

Full advice

There have been several terrorist attacks in the Gulf region in recent years, including at places visited by foreigners. Take official warnings seriously. In case of an attack, follow the advice of local authorities.

Attacks could occur at any time and targets could include:

  • places of worship
  • hotels and restaurants
  • sporting venues
  • military sites

  • crowded public places
  • shopping malls and markets
  • other locations foreigners may visit

Maintain a high level of security awareness. Follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.

More information:

Civil unrest and political tension

Conflicts in the Middle East and Gulf region could affect Kuwait. Monitor local and international media.

The security situation in the region remains unpredictable and could deteriorate with little or no warning.

If there's a security incident, follow the advice of local authorities.

Demonstrations and protests

Public protests are rare in Kuwait but can occur. Kuwaiti law permits freedom of assembly for its citizens. Organisers of demonstrations or public gatherings of more than 20 people must obtain approval in advance from the Ministry of Interior (MOI). 

Events that draw large groups of people can turn violent. Protesters and security forces have clashed previously. Security forces have used water cannons and tear gas to break up protests.

It’s illegal for non-Kuwaiti nationals to protest in Kuwait. 

Avoid all protests, demonstrations and large public gatherings.

Take extra care during the time of Friday prayers when protests are more likely to occur. 

Be especially alert in:

During a period of unrest:

  • monitor the media and local sources for new threats
  • plan your activities to avoid days of national or commemorative significance
  • follow the advice of local authorities
  • be prepared to change your travel plans

Contact your airline, travel agent or insurer if your travel is disrupted. 

Demonstrations and civil unrest

The overall crime rate in Kuwait is low but it is higher in some areas.

Some travellers have reported being physically and verbally harassed. Some foreigners have reported being followed at night.

Take care if you intend to travel to Jahra, where attackers have used firearms in confrontations.  Robberies  have occurred in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh.

To protect yourself from crime:

  • be alert to petty thieves while in crowded places
  • carry only what you need – leave other valuables in a secure place
  • watch your belongings on buses and taxis, especially at night
  • don't go out alone after dark or to isolated places, especially on foot
  • always keep your vehicle and accommodation locked
  • be alert to suspicious behaviour

Cyber security 

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you’re connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or to Bluetooth.

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions, or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media.

  • Cyber security when travelling overseas

Climate and natural disasters

Sand and dust storms occur regularly.

It's often very hot and dry in Kuwait, where the hottest months are June, July and August. Temperatures are often above 50°C and rarely drop below 30°C, even at night. High humidity can be expected in August.

  • monitor local media and other sources such as the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System

Your policy needs to cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay these costs.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay many thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

  • what activities and care your policy covers
  • that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away

Physical and mental health

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

  • have a basic health check-up
  • ask if your travel plans may affect your health
  • plan any vaccinations you need.

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

If you have immediate concerns for your welfare, or the welfare of another Australian, call the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or contact your  nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate  to discuss counselling hotlines and services available in your location.

Medical facilities

The standard of medical facilities in Kuwait varies in government-run and private institutions. You'll be expected to pay in advance for all services. Healthcare facilities provide most services for foreigners. Some hospitals only accept citizens, and some treatments may not be available to foreigners. Government facilities offer more specialty care services, though wait times are often long and can be difficult to access for non-nationals.

Psychological and psychiatric services are limited, with hospital-based care only available through government institutions.

If you need a complex procedure or become seriously ill, you may need to be evacuated. Medical evacuation can be very expensive.

You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Kuwaiti authorities don't normally notify the Australian Embassy if they detain or arrest Australians.

If you are detained, ask the authorities, your family, friend or colleague to inform the Embassy as soon as possible.

  • Arrested or jailed

Drugs and alcohol

Possession of illicit drugs and alcohol is illegal. Penalties are severe. Convictions for possession and trafficking of drugs may result in heavy fines, lengthy jail sentences, deportation or the death penalty.

  • commercial arrangements
  • civil matters
  • family matters
  • employment.

Seemingly minor incidents can result in lengthy legal proceedings. If you have an open case, you may be prevented from leaving the country until it’s resolved.

Some offences that aren't serious in Australia are extremely serious in Kuwait. This includes:

  • writing a cheque without enough funds in your account
  • not paying your bills.

We can't interfere in commercial and family disputes.

  • seek professional advice
  • understand your rights and what you must do under Kuwaiti law.

This is particularly the case for family law matters, including:

  • child custody
  • child support.

Types of documents you'll need to authenticate include:

  • academic records
  • a marriage certificate or driver's licence for a residency permit
  • employment permits
  • a driver's licence for other purposes.

Legalising documents

Advice for LGBTI travellers

Victims of sexual assault

Depending on the situation, victims of sexual assault in Kuwait may face arrest, detention or criminal prosecution for having sex outside of marriage and/or adultery.

If you are sexually assaulted in Kuwait, contact the Australian Embassy in Kuwait or the Consular Emergency Centre in Canberra immediately.

While consular officers can’t provide legal or medical advice, they can give you a list of English-speaking service providers such as lawyers and translators who may be able to help you.

  • Sexual assault

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

Staying within the law and respecting customs

Dual nationals

Kuwait doesn't recognise dual nationality.

If you're a dual citizen, this limits the consular services we can give if you're arrested or detained.

Kuwaiti authorities have confiscated the Australian passports of dual citizens. This doesn't deprive you of your Australian citizenship.

If this happens, contact the Australian Embassy. See Local contacts

Local customs

Kuwait is a Muslim country. Respect local traditions, customs and religious beliefs. Dress and behave modestly in public.

The Islamic holiday month of  Ramadan  is strictly observed in Kuwait. Take care not to offend others. 

Avoid eating, drinking and smoking in public and in front of people who are fasting.

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.

You may have trouble entering Kuwait if your passport has evidence of travel to Israel. This includes entry or exit stamps.

Some countries won't let you enter unless your passport is valid for 6 months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you're just transiting or stopping over.

Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.

You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months.

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid for long enough, consider getting a new passport .

Lost or stolen passport

Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.

Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.

If your passport is lost or stolen, tell the Australian Government as soon as possible:

  • In Australia, contact the Australian Passport Information Service .
  • If you're overseas, contact the nearest Australian embassy or consulate .

Kuwait won't issue entry, transit or other visas in Australian emergency passports.

Emergency passports can only be used to exit Kuwait.
