Kuwait - practical difference between e-visa and visa on arrival?
score:3
Accepted answer
The e-visa does not allow extensions, vs. the normal visit visa. They are both valid for 3 months (initial stay).
There is an additional fee for the e-visa (it may not apply to everyone). The fee is 3 Kuwaiti Dinars (around 10 USD).
There is a practical difference when you land. To get a visa on arrival, you have to go to the visa issuance desk - get your visa, and then go through the immigration queue.
If you have the visa confirmation on hand (online e-visa), you can just go directly through immigration.
E-visas are still relatively new for Kuwait; thus the mismatch in Timatic. They are available even for UK passport holders; the list of eligible passport holders is mentioned at the e-visa main page:
