Hey guys,

No i dont have anything right now, just the will to move to Kuwait.

Job wise, of course i need to work but whats the best way to search? Is there any good websites etc i can use? Or any agencies i can contact?

Also, visa...can i obtain a visitor visa in the airport (like in Egypt) or i have to get before hand?

Hi Timmy ,
For English nationality , you can get Visa from Air Port as visit Visa for 3 Month , so no problem at all .
But about working in Kuwait , you should find a company who can make for you the residency Visa ( working Visa )
So meaning you have to search first for a job before you travel its better way .

Hey Man,

Whats upp! I hope Kuwait has been treating you well, I am a pharmacist, I live in Salmiyah, I hope you are already familiar with the places and streets, hows your job hunting going?

Maybe you can check with the British school, you can get a teaching job just for a start and then you can have enuf time to look somewhere else.

If you need any help you can contact me, I am from Egypt and I have been living here for a year, if you survived Egypt for 3 years I think Kuwait will be much easier

regards
