You can work with a commercial visa but your company needs to renew it every month I think and sometimes you would have to exit the country (just like one of my friends) but again would depend on your company. You just have to remember that working in Kuwait would entail you to have a valid VISA 18 for the private sector and the min stay you can have would be 1 year.

Surianna, you worry too much

firstly, with the misspelling, so long as the other info is correct like passport number etc. it shouldnt cause much havoc, after all, there are checks and counter checks for everything, u need only check with our ISC/Far East friends to find out how names are more often than not misspelled.

second; u can be here for all this simultaneously as it is getting done. like duresprit said.

u can get a visa on arrival, valid for 3 months and work on ur permanent visa with that. it will only take u a trip to a nearby country (i.e. an exit stamp on ur passport from kuwait) to finalize.

in the end, the red tape in the government sector is the same all over the world. the wheels in those places move at the slowest pace, ur best bet is to enjoy the scenery and chill out whilst everything is sorted out.

seeing as how ur company's mandoub is handling the situation, there is further no need for worry. im sure u must be anxious about starting a new chapter in ur life, which is understandable, but as Baz Luhrman said - worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum

Dont worry, be happy everything will work out
