Kuwait Work Visa

Kuwait is one of the popular work destinations in the world. This Middle East country attracts a lot of foreign workers who account for 70% of its population. Many Indians travel to Kuwait to work there. Indian citizens require a Kuwait work visa/permit to be able to take up a job there.

Kuwait Work Visa/Permit:

The work visa/permit in Kuwait is issued under Article 17 and 18 of the country’s immigration laws. Article 17 is for Public Sector Employees and Article 18 is for Private Sector Employees.

Process:

If you are an Indian who has secured a job in Kuwait, then your employer has to first get for a work permit from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour. Your employer has to submit your personal details to avail this permit. You will have to send a copy of your passport to your employer, which they have to show to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour. A NOC (No Objection Certificate) has to be availed from the General Administration of Criminal Investigation at the Interior Ministry.

Once your employer receives the work visa/permit, they have to send the same to you (the employee) along with the NOC. After you receive the 2 documents, you have to first go for a medical test in India. The test has to be done at a clinic recognized by the Kuwaiti Consulate. The medical centre will require you to display the original visa. It will conduct a blood test and a x-ray. This medical report will prove that you have a good health and you do not have any epidemic diseases.
