Kuwait Travel Advisory: Level 3, Reconsider Travel

The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 3 travel advisory for Kuwait, recommending reconsideration of travel due to threats of armed conflict, landmines, and crime. Since the onset of U.S.-Iran hostilities on February 28, 2026, there has been an ongoing threat of drone and missile attacks from Iran, and commercial aviation has been seriously disrupted. The FAA has issued a NOTAM/SFAR. U.S. government employees need special authorization, and only family members aged 18 or older may join them. The Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area in Kuwait City has a high crime rate.
