Kuwait Suspending Issuance of Commercial Visas

Hi Shabasaba,
Yes, that is correct. Commercial visas have been halted until further notice, all employees in my company have been recently informed about this by HR that is how I know. Also I remember an earlier update stating that Visit visas will not be able to be converted to Work visas anymore. I think it will effect you unless the company that you're planning to work at is one of the biggest ones such as Alshaya, Alghanim, Kharafi etc. If not, your company will have to issue you an NOC which might delay your arrival here.

I hope this insight will be helpful.

Good luck with your new job and location

i have my fingers crossed on this topic or any comments by the government or any other political person.hope they dot do that ,they are very much dependent on expats.

wish you a good luck with your agent.

Thank you for the information. I will be contacting my employer again, although they said I should be fine. I will be working for a law firm, which means I hope they know how to work it out.

I spoke with my firm, and they told me not to be concerned. However, if anyone experiences anything related to this issue, please feel free to share it in this post.

wow,a law firm,then for sure no problem for you to be worried about.
