@zakiitb I have come the same way. On 23rd I landed. No biometric was done on the airport. 28th I went for medical. Got passed status on 1st.

Tried to apply for fingerprint unfortunately didn't get any dates as we didn't apply on meta at the right time (wasted about 8 days more) . But every 8:00pm you get a slot to select. So mine is booked for 21st.

Hope you do it the right way.

Regarding leaving or not I think once aqama is done you can leave. Civil id physical isn't important.

@AK1991 thanks man for your information.

With what title was your working visa issued?

So upon arrival we can take the medical exam right away?

And residency will not finished without the fingerprint right?

Regarding leaving country without civil Id, looking forward for more information from anybdoy.

@zakiitb yeah medical first.. Then fingerprint then insurance then aqama. Then apply for civil id.

I am on a supervisor title for my friends company. But I came from Bahrain. Though it doesn't matter. The process is the same.

@zakiitb you need to take an appointment for medical . Everything is online. Check some post on this site you will find the links it's very easy.

It's crucial to consult with the Kuwaiti authorities, your employer, or a legal expert for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding your situation. However, here is some general information that may help:

Residency: The process for obtaining a residency permit in Kuwait can involve several steps, including medical examinations, fingerprinting, and security checks. The exact timeframe for obtaining your residency permit can vary, but it often takes a few weeks to a few months after your arrival.

Mobile ID: The Mobile ID, also known as the "My Identity" app, is a digital version of your Civil ID card, and it's used for various services in Kuwait. Once you have your residency permit, you can typically apply for a Mobile ID. The process for obtaining a Mobile ID can vary, but it may take a few weeks to several months, depending on the specific requirements and processing times.

Civil ID: Your Civil ID is an essential identification document in Kuwait, and you will need it for various activities, including opening a bank account, signing contracts, and more. Once you have your residency permit, you can apply for a Civil ID. It can take several weeks to a few months to receive your Civil ID after the application.

Traveling with a Mobile ID: The Mobile ID is a digital identification document, and while it may be used for various services within Kuwait, it is essential to check whether it is accepted as a valid travel document for leaving and re-entering Kuwait. Typically, you would need your physical Civil ID for travel purposes, but regulations may change, so confirm with the relevant authorities.

Leaving the Country: If you have a valid residency permit and Civil ID, you can leave the country and return. However, if you leave Kuwait without your Civil ID, it may cause complications when re-entering the country, and you should consult with Kuwaiti authorities for guidance on the specific situation.

Please remember that immigration and identification processes in Kuwait can change, and it's crucial to stay updated and follow the guidelines provided by the Kuwaiti government or your employer. For personalized and current information, consider consulting with your employer or a legal expert familiar with Kuwaiti immigration and identification procedures.
