Summary: In this paper, we will study the polyharmonic Kirchhoff-type problem with singular exponential nonlinearity without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition: \[ \begin{cases} -M \left( \int_\Omega |\nabla^m u|^{\frac{n}{m}} \right) \Delta_{\frac{n}{m}}^mu=\frac{f(x,u)}{|x|^\sigma} \quad &\text{in } \Omega, \\ u=\nabla u =\cdots=\nabla^{m-1}u=0 & \text{on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, \( 0<\sigma <n\), \(n\geq 2m\geq 2\), \(M\) is a Kirchhoff function and \(f(x,u)\) has critical exponential growth. We use a suitable version of the Mountain Pass Theorem to prove the existence of a positive ground state solution for this problem.
