Please advise the formalities for transferring residence from Visa 22 to Visa 18. I want to know how much time it will take to transfer my residence to Visa 18 if I am presently working as Visa 22. Also, please advise the educational qualification as I need for transferring the same.

Name withheld

Answer: We begin by cautioning you that it is an offence under the law to work while you are on Visa 22 which is strictly a family and not a work visa. Note therefore, that both you and the company you are working for are breaking the law and will suffer the consequences if you are caught by any of the law enforcement agencies. With regard to formalities, the company representative, who will undertake the transfer processes on your behalf, knows what to do and the time frame within which this can be accomplished depends on how effective the Mandoub or company representative is. With regard to the educational qualification needed for transfer, all that we can say is that if you don’t hold a university degree, you need to have stayed in Kuwait for at least one year before you can transfer from Visa 22 to 18. If you are a graduate, however, you can effect the transfer at any point in time so far as you land a job

My Kuwait driving licence was issued in March 2009. The expiry mention in my licence in March 2019. In 2016 I moved to Dubai and now I have a valid UAE driving licence. Now my company wants me to move back to Kuwait. Can I renew my existing licence? If no, can I apply for new licence using my UAE licence, without reappearing any test? Can I drive in Kuwait using UAE licence during visa stamping time?

 

Name withheld

Answer: When you exitted Kuwait in 2016 after cancelling your residence permit, your driving licence also stood cancelled. You can therefore not renew something that you don’t have. Consequently, when you return to Kuwait, you can’t renew your cancelled Kuwaiti driving licence. Applying for a new driving licence in Kuwait on the basis of your UAE licence will depend on your nationality. So you have to check out to see if your country is one of the lucky ones whose citizens can exchange their driving licences with that of Kuwait. As to whether you can drive in Kuwait using your UAE driving licence while waiting for your visa to be stamped. We advise that you seek that information from the Kuwait Traffic Department

I just want to ask regarding on how to transfer my family visa to working visa. I came here last October 2019 and already had inteviews in different companies here in Kuwait but they refuse to hire me because they told me that I need to stay here at least one year before I can work. I read some article that Visa 22 can be transferred to Visa 18 when you have a university degree and you don’t have to wait one year. Can you advise me what should I do regarding this matter or better kindly provide me a circular that Visa 22 can be transferred to Visa 18 so they would allow me to work in their company. I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Name withheld

Answer: We think that the companies are telling you in a polite way that they dont need your services because the rules that guide visa transfer states in black and white that when you are a university graduate and on Visa 22, you can transfer to Visa 18 at any point in time granting that you get a job. The one-year waiting period is meant for those who are not university graduates. As for providing you with a circular that states that Visa 22 can be transferred to Visa 18, we are sorry to say that we are not equipped with the authority to do that. The Directorate General of Residency Affairs of the Ministry of Interior will be the best place for you to ask for such a circular.
