British Moving from Dubai to Kuwait

The visa process from documentation to temp stamp to first entry to medical to residency stamp to civil id may frustrate you. These are not as streamlined as UAE.

On your first entry to Kuwait on the work visa, you shall NOT be able to leave till you get residency stamp on your passport. From first entry to residency stamp, sometimes it may take a month. Plan your vacations accordingly.

Your employer should be able to answer your queries about NOC etc. Usually it is required from the place where you spent past two years.

If you are short tampered or tuned to well defined processes, you should start meditation and yoga

Even after joining your employer you may find funny HR rules including notice period, sick leave etc which are defined by government. You may think those are your employer's HR policy but in reality those are by law.

The conservative culture, heat and non availability of alcohol also may irritate you. Still have patience, you shall get habitual of them because there are tons of other options to get entertained.

On positive side, you shall be able to make very good savings unlike UAE which is damn expensive now a days. Petrol & electricity are as good as free. Malls are great. Food is very reasonably priced.
