Hallo Rajasri - for a bank account you need a civil ID. For a mobile sim card passport is enough.

Hi,

Yes you will need a civil id no to open an account in bank, it's very easy to get, check here. You can then immediately open a bank account easily in NBK using the same.

For sim cards you can find sim cards at airport itself, but they are little expensive, you can get sim card easily available at any mobile store by submitting your passport photocopy. You can go for Ooredoo or Zain they are very good for expats.
