Best time to move to Kuwait is whenever employer tells you to join

if you join between mid May-mid Sep , be ready to go for medical and other visa formalities in peak summer bright sun which may depress you . otherwise also these formalities specially medical for visa stamping will depress you but atleast weather will not increase the irritations .

office timings are reduced during Ramadan . mostly it is summer and you can not eat in public / hotels during day time . many like joining during Ramadan because of less working hours and malls are open till late so that they can explore Kuwait quickly and better.

if you are given choices:-
a) For those with school going kids , the school starts in Aug end or sep first week. So you should plan accordingly
b) For others any time between Oct to Mar is good. April and upto mid may is still fine
c) if you are coming from very cold region and have difficulty in managing hot weather join between mid Nov- mid Feb

What is the best season/time of the year to move to Kuwait, and why?

Kuwait is High temperature country in the summer so shopping isn't good idea in that season. The best season/time in Kuwait for working and shopping is the winter.

How do rent prices fluctuate based on the different seasons?
Prices in hotels in the summer is cheap. In winter is expensive.
The prices doesn't change for sharing rooms If you aren't tourist wants to rent accommodation, the price depends on the city and locations that you want to rent.

Is there a change in the job market depending on the seasons, such as job availability?

Kuwaiti people is a racist and exploitative so you won't be able to change or transfer your job to an other company. The rules in Kuwait doesn't cover you of Kuwaiti so be careful.

Salary in Kuwait depends on the nationality and occupation. If you are from India or Bangladesh or Philippine
Range between .. 100 kd to 300 kd.
Kuwait maybe a good place to live in if you are a single young. But If you have a family not recommended


What are the times of year to avoid for expatriation to Kuwait?

The summer

That completely depends on what parameters are you moving, visiting for holidays or job.
For job it is completely on the company and job hunting season. If you are moving the rent won't change for people who reside early even if you visit any time of the year.

If you are planning to visit for holidays the best time is from November to February, the climate is awesome and soothing. Hotel prices and other things becomes little expensive but you can book in advance with some discounts if available. Personally do not come in summers. extremely scorching, yes hotel and room prices are at some places are almost half at this time compared to winter, but heat is something you get in return for that.

Fluctuation is not there as such but in winter sales people are seen more so I suppose since more travelers and people go out in the open sky for shopping.

Eid is the biggest festival as an Islamic nation. I would personally suggest not to visit in Eid time if you are a non muslim as there are few restrictions and laws during Eid.

Apart from summer you can visit any time of the year. I personally moved in January. It helped me in one way as the temperature was cool and the heat began rising gradually helping me acclimatize to the temperature.

All the best. Have a look at annual temperature of .
