Kuwait has taken a significant leap toward expanding its tourism sector with the official launch of “Visit Kuwait,” a comprehensive online platform designed to make travel to the country simpler, more attractive, and culturally enriching. Launched on November 1, 2025, this platform is a pivotal part of Kuwait’s Vision 2035 economic diversification plan, aiming to transform Kuwait from an oil-dependent economy to a vibrant, tourism-driven destination.
“Visit Kuwait” serves as the nation’s all-in-one portal where prospective tourists, business visitors, and family travelers can apply for various types of visas online—from tourist to business and official visas—without the need to physically visit embassies. This e-visa system not only streamlines entry procedures but also enhances the overall visitor experience by providing rich information about travel requirements, cultural events, entertainment options, and heritage sites.
The platform features an interactive smart map and innovative itinerary planning tools, available in Arabic and English, enabling travelers to personalize their journeys. It also offers exclusive deals and detailed guides on Kuwait’s vibrant culture, including museums, festivals, and traditional attractions that reflect the nation’s rich heritage and contemporary flair.
By launching “Visit Kuwait,” the government has opened a new chapter of economic openness that leverages digital technologies to promote tourism as a sustainable economic pillar. The platform is not only a gateway to easier travel but also plays a strategic role in regulating tourism and entertainment events, supporting public-private partnerships, and encouraging investments in cultural industries.
Businesses and event organizers benefit from streamlined licensing processes through the platform, allowing for better coordination and quality assurance in offerings across the tourism and entertainment sectors. This digital approach is expected to increase tourist footfall, generate higher revenues, and create employment opportunities, all integral to Kuwait’s ambitious Vision 2035 objectives.
“Visit Kuwait” goes beyond logistics, aiming to build cultural bridges by showcasing the country’s unique art, heritage, and social events. It provides a platform for both local and international visitors to discover the essence of Kuwait’s identity through its rich traditions and modern innovations.
This initiative places Kuwait on the global tourism map as a forward-looking destination that values seamless visitor experiences combined with deep cultural immersion, making it attractive for leisure travelers, cultural enthusiasts, and business delegates alike.
