Can I work under my husband's work permit?

in kuwait, i do not think, you can work on your husbands visa.. you need to obtain your own visa to work..regarding your obtainment of job in kuwait, it depends on your qualification, experience and expertise.. so, post in classifieds.. you may find one...look for local news papers and online web sites.. look for bayt.com the biggest job portal in middle east

Thanks Livekrish, you have been most helpful

Hi R!

Yes you can work under your husband's sponsorship visa, I did. However, some workplace would tell you and transfer your visa to their sponsorship if required.  Normally the workplace has a messenger " mandoob"  who speaks the lingo and will do all the paperwork for you.

To deal with the ministry here is an experience in itself, and the language barrier doesn't help. So if you have that in mind you don't get shocked and get help if you need to!

All the best!

Rhina,

Thanks for the information. I hope I get lucky with employment. Do you know if there are a lot of opportunities for part-time work? or is full-time the norm?

i think it is not legal. please check with the HR before taking the job. you will not end up in trouble later on

Part-time work is illegal in Kuwait. You need to have avalid working visa to work here (Visa 18 for Private companies and/or Visa 17 for those in the government/ministry). It is advisable to check the Classified ads for Vacancies. Goodluck

Thanks for letting me know Duresprit

Hi

I have no idea about the legalities but any company you join, if they are worth your while will be able to talk you through what you need to do.

However for your very limited CV above, it sounds you may well find something where I work, their social media policy doesn't not allow me to talk publicly but I have sent you a message!!!
