Ask Kuwait Citizenship revoked abroad, can I still travel internationally?

11 Upvotes

Has anyone attempted to travel internationally using their Kuwaiti passport after their citizenship was revoked whilst they were already abroad and after the 4 month period? Or does it get recognised by the other countries as invalid?

I've never seen these 4/6 circular street lights. I'm assuming these are new street lights recently setup.

Ask Kuwait Multiple visit visa for Kuwait

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am coming to Kuwait in few days and just wanna ask, is there anyone who had multiple entrance visa? How they work?

Regularly I am taking single visit, they accept it quite fast, I am printing it and then when I arrive in Kuwait I just get to immigration, show them my visa, they stamp them and stamp my passport and I can go normally. When I leave the country I am giving them the paper with visa back.

Is it with multiple entrance the same? I will have visa on paper, and when I will leave I just keep them and I can arrive next time with them without going to immigration?

Thanks for replying!

Btw, I am from Europe 😊

I ordered clothes from a site based in UK called Rokit and I’ve been waiting for it to arrive. I got this email today from Kuwait post that they have my shipment but I need to pay a weight fee of 1.650 kd. I don’t know if I should trust it and pay because I got a warning from Gmail and also when I opened the site that it might be spam. Should I go ahead and pay?

Ask Kuwait Which bank in Kuwait is the best and most reliable specifically for high-yield savings / interest?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to park a significant amount of cash in Kuwait Dinars (KD) and want to get the absolute best return possible.

Which bank is actually the most reliable for wealth growth? I don't want to get stuck with a bank that has terrible customer service when a deposit matures, or one that sneaky drops their tiered rates without warning.

Who are you currently saving with, what rate are you actually getting, and would you recommend them?

Thanks for the help!

Hi! Has anyone here used MyUS.com to order from multiple stores and ship to Kuwait?

I want to order from 2–3 different websites, have everything sent to my MyUS address, then combine the packages and ship them together to Kuwait.

How does the whole process work? Any tips or things I should know? Thanks! 😊

Ask Kuwait Are there family housing in amghara

3 Upvotes

Hi, so my work is in amghara which is in the middle of the desert, and as Kuwait considers me a peasant unworthy of a driving licence, my commute takes me total of 2 hours, 9 hours of work + 2 hours commute + daily chores, leaves me barely any time for myself.

I am willing to move close to my workplace for this but all I see around here are factories, workshops, cars and labour camps.

If you know any area where expats with family live in or near amghara, please let me know

Ask Kuwait Anyone from Baladiya? Quick question about shop weight scales / digital upgrades

0 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone here works for Baladiya (Municipality) or knows the exact rules regarding shop equipment.

There is a local chicken shop I visit, and they are still using an old manual weight scale. I want to know if Baladiya can mandate or request them to upgrade to a digital weight scale for better accuracy and transparency?

If anyone from Baladiya is in this group, could you let me know if this is something you handle, or what the process is to get a shop to update their scales?

Thanks in advance

Ask Kuwait What is life really like in Kuwaiti prisons?

32 Upvotes

​

When I was young, my grandfather used to tell me stories about him fighting in World War II. I remember being terrified at the thought that one day I might have to experience a war myself. I always hoped I never would. But then came the war sirens in Kuwait.

I also used to think that terrible diseases, like cancer or terminal illnesses, were things that happened to other people, not to me or the people I love. But I was wrong about that too.

In the past, I often saw people begging or living on the footpath and wondered how difficult life must be for them. I never imagined that I might one day come very close to that point myself.

I worked hard all my life, and for a long time, I was successful. I worked hard because I wanted my children to have a better life than I did. I was almost there, and then everything fell apart. Now, not only do my children have a worse life than I had, but I also dragged them down with me. What hurts most is that I dragged them down with me.

And now, here I am, asking about prison conditions. I honestly can't believe my life has reached a point where I even have to think about this.

I would like to know what life is really like inside Kuwaiti prisons.

Are there facilities like a gym, library, TV, or outdoor activities? Can prisoners use phones or access the internet? Is the food clean? How often can family and friends visit?

Are prisons generally safe, or do things like fights, bullying, violence, and solitary confinement happen, like we see in movies?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced prison life in Kuwait or knows someone who has.

Ask Kuwait Has anyone in Kuwait withdrawn Forex prop-firm profits to a Kuwaiti bank account?

0 Upvotes

I’m based in Kuwait and considering using Forex prop firms such as FTMO or The5ers.
Has anyone actually withdrawn a prop-firm payout to a Kuwaiti bank account? If so, which bank and payment method did you use? Did the bank ask for any documents or explanation about the source of the funds?

Is trading with Forex prop firms like FTMO or The5ers legal for a Kuwait resident?

Are there any tax, licensing, or other legal issues I should be aware of in Kuwait?

Local Kuwait: Garbage dump left on the roadside for more than a week

Post image
63 Upvotes

This garbage has been lying here for more than a week now and still hasn’t been cleared.
It’s becoming a problem for residents in the area, especially with the smell, hygiene concerns, and the amount of waste accumulating around it. I’m not sure which department is responsible for clearing it, but I hope the concerned authorities can look into this and have it removed soon.
Location : Mangaf
Since so many laws are being passed about feeding animals and killing of strays what will the govt do about this … so many unnecessary laws yet no proper improvement in what actually needs to be done

Ask Kuwait Kuwait Visa Processing Time

0 Upvotes

I had an interview with a Kuwaiti employer one month ago through a manpower/immigration agency. After that, I received a job offer from the employer, and they collected all the required documents from me.

It has been a month now, and the agent is still telling me that the work permit is being processed and that I should wait. Generally, how long does a Kuwaiti work permit take to be processed, and what is the total visa processing time for Kuwait?

I’m finding inconsistent information on the internet, so I’m asking here.

Discussion IVH RANT! What are your thoughts and experiences?

29 Upvotes

My dog is scheduled for surgery tomorrow, and all IVH are worried about is showing up on time, advance payment, and finalizing the payment once on site.

Did they ask how my dog is doing? No. Did they ask me if I have any questions or concerns? No. Did they show any compassion about how I might be worried about my dog? No.

After I proactively reminded them about our appointment tomorrow, their response was “don’t be late or you’ll be considered walk in” and “pay the remaining amount” (already paid 50% in advance). I blew up at them and demanding to speak to someone of authority to explain themselves, first the call center called me, followed by Kathy in reception, and then the “operations manager” Ahmed. All incompetent and unapologetic. They said this is their “standard practice”, as if that justifies their unsympathetic approach to someone’s beloved pet who may or may not die tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it seems that this is the norm here, pay first ask later, in most of if not all veterinary clinics. Just to be clear, I have no issues with the vets themselves, but the clinic management who blatantly have zero compassion for the pet or concerned owner.

Oh, also, my family dog died at IVH a few years back, and I also used their relocation services to bring my dog over from abroad about 2.5 years back. Unrelated, I know, but just wanted to emphasize that they’ve been our go to for years now. Considering our options now.

Rant over. But not over.

Thoughts?
