Pregnancy + document for new born .

dont worry about the citizenship part - only Kuwaiti's get Kuwaiti nationality by birth, being born here you would have to register her with your embassy for her Italian identification.

so long as you and the Mrs. have a valid marriage certificate (duly authorized, notarized etc) then you shouldnt have any problems with the birth. since your child would be under your sponsorship as the father, the issue of her residency is not a major one. i am not sure about this, it makes sense technically but its still best for others to speak on this in terms of giving birth whilst on visit visa. you could always ask the admission staff at the hospital where u plan on having your baby.

there are other maternity hospitals - on the fourth ring road there's the Mothering hospital (the area Riggae) and the Royal Hayat hospital in Jabriya. Or if ur in Salmiya, Al Seif hospital is also good.

Thank you ,

On 5 august i have again to visit the hospital and for sure i will ask all these things to doctor  .

But are you suggest me other hospital just for info ? Or you think  that new mowasat is not good ???

Hi Napoleone,

I am pregnant myself (in my 8th month) and new to Kuwait (arrived in may 2012, left in Europe for a month then just came back a few weeks ago). I am planning on giving birth to my first baby in New Mowasat too in the coming weeks !
I used to go to Royal Hayate but I was not too happy with the staff. I felt like too much importance was given to luxury rather than care of patients but that's a very personal feeling as I know a few people who gave birth to their baby there and were happy about it. Anyway, almost all my expats friends gave birth to their children in New Mowasat and are very happy about it ! So far my appointments were great so I am happy with it ! The most important thing is that you guys feel comfortable with your doctor and trust him/her.
Regarding giving birth while on a tourist visa, I am exactly in the same situation as your wife and we are currently trying to find out how it works so I will let you know once this is clearer. But at this stage, i think the most important indeed is the certificate of marriage.

Good luck
G

congrats Gee, and god bless.

the problem with not having a marriage certificate is highlighted in this newspaper article here

hi

i used to take my wife to Dar-Alshefaa hospital in hawalli it is good hospital and the prices is better than many hospitals , and the treatment is very good there

actually all my family prefer this hospital to give birth there children

and what documents you need depend on your ambassy in the first class bcz you want to add her to you
but you should ask the hospitals what do they want from u to give the certification that proof the delivery in their hospital


hope to hear good news about your baby

You will need proof of marriage.
Your wife can deliver her child on a tourist visa but your embassy would have to give you an emergency travel document/passport for the child to exit the country?
You pick up the birth certificate from kuwaiti ministry office and then you take it for translation in hawalli i believe -

Mowasat is an excellent hospital.
I know of two mothers who both had premature twins and delivered there, all babies fine el7umdella!

Thank you for all your reply ....

GeeKuwait .... Good Luck and keep me and my wife updated ....I spoke with the Doctor that following my wife and is look like needed only certificate of marriage + my ID ..... Also i am requesting more info trough my company .....
