Kuwait work permit timeliness

Hi All,


Just going through the work visa process.


Currently my employer has applied for the work permit with the Ministry of labour.


How long does this process take? It has been two and half weeks for me with no update.

The timeline may vary for many different reasons with respect to the different work description. But contact your HR/employer to give you updates as he/she is in direct follow up with the ministry

Hello Nomadx,


Any update on your visa status?


My degree just got verified by DataFlow system yesterday. I asked the recruiter on the next step and he said the visa is already applied and might take some time.


May I know how long you wait to get your visa if you already received it.


Thanks.

Do not forget your police certificate and book a medical in your country early.

UK police cert can take over 30 days but will last for 3 months. Also find out which one, they could accept a basic certificate before - cheaper n quicker.

Medical also lasts 3 months but book early and check they are approved.

Normally you have people who sleep n not work, check they are working on the visa.
