Dear All

what is the average and maximum time you would need to process work permit , work visa or NOC .
i must admit that i do not understand the system ; in other GCC countries you will get the work permit in 2-3 days ( in UAE ) or up to 3 weeks in other countries , i have been waiting for longer than this and still nothing ; not accepted , not rejected , not processed .

is this normal , or my possible employer is playing me ?

Thanks for the help in Advance

Welcome to Kuwait. If your employer has good connections, it can be as little as two months. In reality, it can be a year or more. Mine took 10 months to complete.
As with everything else in Kuwait, arm yourself with a lot of patience.
