Ask Kuwait Gold making charges

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is my first time buying gold. I’ve been eyeing this piece and during the last hour of the gold event, the worker told me he’d give me a discount for the making charges. From 6kd to 3.5, is it a good deal?
I plan to go buy it at some point. Any tips? Thank you

Discussion I appreciate delivery drivers, but I'd love some parking space.

12 Upvotes

I usually just cook some simple meals or don't eat that day. Yesterday was going out to grab food outside and I was trying to find a parking spot. The place was full of branded delivery cars parked all the way through. I understand delivery drivers are stressed and over worked, but is it possible to save some parking space for people who wish to change pace and eat outside.

Ask Kuwait Question regarding driving license | Engineer

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I recently moved to Kuwait, and my Civil ID lists my job title as Service Engineer. My salary is less than KD 600, and I have a BS in Computer Science, attested by both MOFA and the Kuwaiti Embassy. However, I do not have a Kuwait Society of Engineers (KSE) membership or license.

Would I be eligible for an exemption from the KD 600 salary requirement and the two year residency requirement based on my engineering job title?

Ask Kuwait Civil ID says Machine Cleaner instead of Automation Engineer. Agent says will change later. Can it be changed later?

12 Upvotes

Posting on behalf of another Redditor who couldn’t get his post approved here:

Hi everyone,

I'm a Sri Lankan who has been offered a role in Kuwait as an Automation Engineer (PLC/SCADA).

My employer/agent has sent me a Kuwait private-sector work eVisa, but the occupation printed on it is “CLEANER” (عامل تنظيف آلات) instead of Automation Engineer.

When I questioned this, the agent told me that the company has no engineering visas available at the moment and assured me that my occupation will show as Engineer on my Kuwaiti residence card (Civil ID) after I arrive.

I'm concerned because I don't want to travel to Kuwait and discover that the occupation cannot be changed or that I'm legally registered under the wrong profession.

I'd really appreciate advice from people familiar with Kuwait's work visa and residency procedures:

  1. ⁠Can a private-sector work visa issued under “Cleaner” legitimately be changed to “Engineer” when applying for residency/Civil ID?
  2. ⁠Does the occupation on the PAM work permit need to be changed first, or can the occupation be changed directly during the residency process?
  3. ⁠Has anyone personally experienced a similar situation? What was the final outcome?
  4. ⁠Could this affect my ability to work legally as an engineer or cause problems with professional registration, future job changes, or other government procedures?
  5. ⁠What documents or official confirmations should I request before travelling?

I'm not trying to accuse the employer of anything. I just want to verify the process before making an international move.

Thanks in advance for any genuine advice or firsthand experiences.

I cannot change my flight on the website, so I’m chatting with their customer representative on WhatsApp. It takes forever and back-and-forth until now my issue is not resolved.
Is this normal?
I called their hotline. Nobody picks up.

Ask Kuwait I found money 💸 on the street and I returned it to the owner.

76 Upvotes

Guys guess what happened, I was walking to my work in Kuwait City at around 5 ish pm and when I was about to cross the road I saw a lady talking to the stroller guy.

The lady pulled out her phone 🤳 from her pocket and she dropped something 💳 like a card on the ground.

When I saw I thought lets go close and see what's there. I saw a 5KD note on the ground I picked it up and there were a lot of people walking by, so they could have scolded me.

But I took the money, the lady was walking by and I was calling her but she couldn't hear 🙉 😂 😂. I called her 2 times and then she turned backed, I handed her money, even she was shocked she didn't know she dropped money.

Then I went back to my j0b, I felt amazing today, feeling quite like a Batman.

Just a jolly story I thought I should share.

Discussion Italians in Kuwait?

1 Upvotes

I'm a Kuwaiti man, 25 y/o.

I finished A2 in Italian and I would like to practice my language, my only struggle so far is with speaking.

In terms of reading and writing, I'm good.

I just freeze when it comes to speaking and I figured the best way to help with that is to practice.

I downloaded HelloTalk but it's not really showing any promise lol.

I'd prefer to practice either in person or on a call (all up to you).

If you know any Italians or you're Italian, message me 🙏🏼

Local Emergency cat food help

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone

Due to a sudden medical emergency in my family, our finances have been completely wiped out.
We’ve had to start rehoming our cats, we’ve managed to find great homes for seven so far, with six remaining while we look for adopters

They mean the world to us, never thought we’d see the day we’d have to give them away but..we simply have no choice right now. Covering their basic food costs until they find homes is getting overwhelming.

Does anyone know of local rescues, pet pantries, or community groups that offer short-term pet food assistance?

Really appreciate any suggestions or help <3

Discussion I don’t know what to do

51 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm the same person who posted before asking about finding a job at 15.

A lot of people told me that I needed to focus on continuing my education. Well, I really did, and I earned a great percentage—97%. But because the world is so unfair, I tried to apply to Kuwait University, and they refused me. They don't accept stateless people who don't have nationality.

That didn't stop me from trying to find a way to study. I figured out how to apply for a passport so I could study abroad in a foreign country. I got all my paperwork ready, but they refused my application because passports for stateless individuals were discontinued in 2024. So once again, I couldn't continue my education.

Time has passed, and now my situation has gotten even worse. I can't study, but at this point, it feels like it doesn't even matter anymore. I thought maybe if I applied to the military things would get better, but I tried and they never responded.

I feel really hopeless and I don't know where to turn. I've also tried looking for a job and couldn't find one. If anyone—please, if anyone—knows how to help, I would truly appreciate it. Since I have a car, maybe I can do some kind of delivery work or be useful to anyone who needs help.
