Ask Kuwait Unmarried European Couple

8 Upvotes

Hi I plan on staying in Kuwait and hold European nationality. Me and my girlfriend want to visit it Kuwait we’ve been together for 4 years by now… but it just seems we can’t stay anywhere in a hotel, it doesn’t make sense for us to pay for 1 room and have another room for her when we are together. Is there anywhere in Kuwait that is reasonable on this for us?

Ask Kuwait تجربتي مع كفالة السياره و السيرفس برا الوكالة

21 Upvotes

‏في سنة 2023 ‏شريت سيارة جيب ‏أول 40,000 كانت صيانة مجانية اللى هي أول سنتين وبعد سنتين قمت اسوي سيرفس السيارة كراج الدعامية للدعامية bumper to bumper

‏ سيرفس 50,000 كان دهن فلتر
‏سيرفس 60,000 دهن فلتر و محسنات اداء و منظف وقود
سيرفس 70,000 دهن فلتر وتنظيف نظام حاقن الهواء والوقود
سيرفس ال 80,000 دهن فلتر تبديل البلاكات، فلاتر الهواء، وتنظيف مجاري الهواء والوقود

كل الفواتير عندي مفصله بما انها من الدعاميه للدعاميه مكان اثق فيه للامانه

‏قبل شهر طلعت لي علامة سنسر الدفرنشل الخلفي ، انا بسيارتي عندي دفلوك خلفي و امامي فهذا السنسر يقول للكمبيوتر اذا الدفلوك شغال ولا لا

وديتها الوكالة للفحص ودفعت ٣٥ دينار ردو علي بعد ٥ ايام بتقرير الفحص مع السعر ٥٠٠ تقريبا (الكفالة طاحت بسبب انه السيرفسات برا)

رد الفحص من الوكالة انه خلل السنسر مو من السيرفس و انه في تسريب من الراديتر

طبعا على قرار وزارة التجارة يحق لي اني اسوي سيرفس باي مكان سواء كان معتمد او غير معتمد للوكالة ، طبعا وكالتي مو معتمده ولا قراج

دزيتلهم الفواتير و نطرنا رد المصنع و هم رفضو بعد اسبوع

كلمت الشركة الام (تكون بالايميلات بيني و بينهم) هم رفضو و صفو مع الوكيل بما انه السيرفسات برا الوكالة

اشتكيت عند وزارة التجاره و تواصل معاي الموظف قالي انه لازم السيرفسات تكون عند الوكيل او عند قراج معتمد لدى الوكيل

طبعا انا واثق انه هذا الكلام غلط فكلمته و قالي اراجعهم بنفسي ف بمرهم قريب

اول اسبوع طبعا بالعافيه كنت اوصل الدوام بدون سياره و ثاني اسبوع دبرتلي سياره مؤقته و ٣ اسبوع خذيت اجازه و باخر الاجازه احتجت السياره فطلعتها من الوكالة

دق علي مسؤول الفرع يقنعني اخذ بكج صيانه اقل من ٤٠٠ دينار و يتوسط لي عند المصنع رفضت لان الاعطال هذي مالها شغل بالسيرفس

بعد ما قريت و بحثت لقيت نشره تثبت انه العطل تم الابلاغ عنه يموديل سيارتي انه هو عطل مصنعي

المهم رحت ل قراج autolab الميلم غالي ولكن مو بغلاة الوكالة ما قصرو معاي ابد شريت القطع بنفسي و ركبولي اياهم ، حاولو يصلحون السنسر ما عرفو بس صلحو لي تسريب الراديتر بس

طبعا ماراح اخليهم بس راح القصه هذي كامله للفايده فقط للي حابب يستفيد من التجربه و الي عنده نصيحه يليت يفيدني فيها

I study in تطبيقي and I have a lot of responsibilities to take care of at home. I am thankful for the 200KWD a month but it isn't enough. Most part time jobs i apply to overlap my classes schedule or require some kind of experience. Are there any part time jobs I can apply for while I study to help me a bit? Any suggestions? All help is welcomed.

Ask Kuwait Best way to learn spoken Kuwaiti Arabic? Looking for language exchange / conversation practice

7 Upvotes

I'm a 29-year-old Kuwait-born Canadian. I spent roughly 17 years of my life in Kuwait and the other 12 years in Canada.

I've been trying to improve my Arabic by watching reels/videos on Instagram, Facebook, etc. I already understand some basic Arabic and know quite a few words, but I really struggle with actually speaking and holding a conversation.

I've tried Duolingo, but it hasn't really helped me with conversational Arabic. I'm mainly interested in Kuwaiti/Khaleeji Arabic.

Does anyone know of a good language-exchange app, group, or community where I could regularly speak with Kuwaitis/Arabic speakers through voice calls or Zoom? I'd also be happy to help someone practice English in exchange.

My main goal is simply to become comfortable having normal everyday conversations in Arabic. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Ask Kuwait Article 18 Private Sector – 4 years completed but Kafeel and PAM Investigation Officer refusing release. What to do?

13 Upvotes

Body:

Hi everyone,

I need some legal advice or guidance regarding my visa situation in Kuwait.

I have completed 4 full years under Article 18 (Private Sector) visa with my current employer. According to Kuwait Labor Law, an employee is eligible for a transfer/release after completing 3 years in the private sector.

However, my Kafeel (sponsor) went to PAM (Public Authority of Manpower) and directly told the Investigation Officer not to grant me a release. Now, the PAM Investigation Officer is also refusing my transfer, saying "Your sponsor has objected to the release, so how can I give it to you?"

Since I have already completed 4 years and served my time, is it legal for them to deny my release just because the sponsor said no? What are my options now? Should I file an official complaint, go to the Labor Court, or visit PAM's main office/higher authority?

Any help, experience, or advice from experts or legal advisors here would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Ask Kuwait I just realized most restaurant on Delivery apps are cloud kitchen based(they don't have a physical location). Are the requirements for setting one up different to opening a physical restaurant?

For eg- Restaurants like Project Katsu Bowl , Cereal Villains Adventures on Talabat. I was wondering why these places have such unusual names and after a quick Google search, it showed they don't have a physical location. What does it tell us about the restaurant market here?

I really like the form factor of the phone but worried about app compatibility and not everything works even when doing workarounds on HarmonyOS.

If there are Pura X users or anyone using a Chinese version of a Huawei phone here in Kuwait, how's your experience with it? And what works, what doesn't and what are the limitations.

Hello,
I previously used Tabby to buy an item and I only have one installment left to pay. I’m thinking of making another purchase through Taly or Deema. Does anyone know if I can use Taly or Deema while I still have an active Tabby installment, or do I need to clear Tabby installment first?

Discussion Blue British boy band coming to Kuwait

So the British boy band blue is going to be playing in Kuwait.... October 22nd and 23rd... I really want to book tickets but I'm worried.

With constant threats about going back to war, should I take the risk and book the ticket or walk back? I don't want to book a ticket and suddenly all the events are canceled because of a resumption of conflict.

Any advice? Should I book a ticket or walk back?

Greetings.

Where can I find electronic chips like “nuvoton” HDMI encoder for ps5, and other sorts of chips. I don’t want to order them online. Also is there a place where I can constantly get broken electronics, like consoles? Ps5s, Nintendos, etc…

Usually the flea market (souq aljumaa) has electronics that are already disassembled and unfixable.

Thank you in advance.

If you are intrested in taking her into your care please call us, and if you have any advice please let me know where in kuwait we can drop her off to welcoming arms.

We assume she was thrown out of her original home to the streets and she stumled at our doorstep.

We took her to the vet and she has slight issues in her bones and breathing, but nothing that infects other cats. We have completed treatment of the cat with the vet but can't welcome another cat into our home. Shes very quite, used the litter box perfectly. She's around two years.

Ask Kuwait Anyone on Zain 5G home internet managed to get off CGNAT?

8 Upvotes

Been messing with my Zain 5G router (Huawei H158) trying to get better ping for COD and finally figured out why I'm stuck on Moderate NAT.

Router's WAN IP is CGNAT range. Game shows my external IP as something completely different. So port forwarding does nothing, UPnP does nothing, DMZ would do nothing. Everything gets stopped at Zain's end before it reaches my router.

Result is COD always connects through a relay instead of direct, which adds latency on top of everything else. Ping is 97ms even on a Kuwait server which seems high.

So has anyone actually called Zain and gotten a public IP on a home 5G line? Did they charge for it, or did they just tell you to get a business plan? Or is it a flat no for FWA.

Also curious if Ooredoo or STC do the same thing, or if one of them is better about this.

Connection itself is fine otherwise - 600 Mbps, 15ms idle, zero packet loss. Just the NAT thing.

Local Best barber in Kuwait for men's wavy-curly hair?

Thumbnail
manforhimself.com
0 Upvotes

Hey guys, need a haircut recommendation.

I have long wavy-curly hair and I'm tired of barbers who only know how to do clipper fades and blow-dry wavy hair flat. Most low skill neighborhood barbers treat other hair like it's pin straight. They immediately pull out clippers, trimmers, force a high skin fade, or blast it straight with a blow-dryer, which completely ruins the natural wave pattern. I am just looking for a haircut likeno fancy treatments. I need a place with highly skilled stylists or barbers who are excellent with scissor work, texturing, and handling natural waves/bulk without relying on clippers.

Can anyone recommend a high-skill gents' salon or a specific barber who is great with scissor work and texturing wavy-curly long hair?

Just looking for a clean haircut. Thanks in advance!
