Naturalisation and citizenship in Kuwait by Bhavna
Hello everyone, What are the requirements for acquiring citizenship in Kuwait? For example, length of residence, language requirements, employment etc.. What formalities are involved in the process? What is the policy on dual-citizenship in ...

Bhavna, a good idea would be to do a google search. Normally, to get Kuwaiti citizenship, you need a Kuwaiti father. Naturalization doesn't really work. I know people who were born in Kuwait, lived here for more than 30 years and still don't ... Read More

Thanks for the info. I will look into it. Also, I would appreciate any other recommendations. I checked out USBC. I still need to go to the NBK Capital office just to get more details. All in all, KD 5,000 looks like a fair ammount to start with. Read More

Driving in Kuwait by Maximilien
Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Kuwait? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excessÂ… what are the characteristics of the driving style ...
