Hello Team Members,

I got a job offer from KOC/KDC as an engineer. Currently in the midst of verifying my degree certificate (graduated from university in USA) through Dataflow website. It says would take around a month. May I know the timeline for it to be verified and then for the visa to be issued? What is the next step after Dataflow?

Appreciate if anyone has experience the same process before. Thank you.

The employer will apply for the work permit from the interior Ministry , for that your passport should have a validity of atleast two years.

At this stage employer only requires scan of the educational document (atleast this is what happened in my case) . Legalisation is required for the Kuwait embassy in later part of the process.

Takes three weeks for work permit to be issued by the Ministry.

@Nomadx Thank you. Appreciate your feedback Guess I have to wait until my degree is verified by DataFlow then another 3 weeks to get the work permit.
