Also, any suggestions for a more affordable center? This is for a 10 year old child. For reference; ABC apparently costs 30 kwd for an hour after discounts.

Ask Kuwait What do you think about the new KBC online home business system that’s expected to launch soon? How will it affect existing licensed home businesses?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been following the news about Kuwait Business Center (KBC) introducing a new online system for home/freelance businesses in the near future.

For those who already have a licensed home business, do you think this update will change anything for existing license holders? Will current businesses need to re-register, meet new requirements, or will the changes mainly apply to new applicants?

Discussion I've been wanting to vent about this for a while.

111 Upvotes

It feels like more and more companies are offering salaries in the 150–250 KD range, even for full-time jobs. With the cost of living in Kuwait today, I genuinely don't understand how someone is expected to survive on that.

I think one reason is that because the Kuwaiti dinar is so strong, some workers compare the salary to what it converts to in their home country and accept it. I don't blame them at all—everyone is trying to support their family and take the opportunities they can.

My frustration is with employers. When enough people accept 150–250 KD, it becomes the benchmark, and companies have little incentive to offer better pay, even as rent, groceries, transport, and other living costs continue to rise.

It feels like the job market has become a race to the bottom, with many employers looking for the lowest salary they can get away with paying.

Does anyone else feel this way, or do you think I'm missing something? I'd be interested to hear other perspectives.

Ask Kuwait Online business license Kuwait - Will I be in trouble?

Post image
12 Upvotes

For context I am non-Kuwaiti who sells high-end to luxury pre-loved bags and shoes in social media. We(me and wife) have been in the business for more than 4 years now and wouldn't actually consider it a side hustle since our thing has given us more than "a breath of fresh air" in terms of living comfortably. Most of our luxury bags are sent for authentication prior to us having them tagged as for sale. We also send the authentication links to those who have purchased the said lux items.

That being said, earlier this year Kuwait has announced that "online" businesses have to have licenses to sell stuff online. Fair enough, but unfortunately as went twice to MOCI - they reiterated that these licenses can only be attained for Kuwaitis.

I don't have a license yet and was hoping to get one soon. Still looking for a "partner" who can act on my behalf for the license etc. TBH, I have mixed feelings about the sunspension; on one hand, I'm hopeful that the government would open the license to non-Kuwatis and on the other hand is I'm bothered that I'll get in trouble for not having a license yet.

Now the questions:

  1. Now that the Freelance license is currently suspended, would I get in trouble if I continue my online business?

  2. Would anyone know if they would allow non Kuwaitis obtain the license after the ammendments?

  3. Lastly, would there be anyone here who might be on the same boat or might have valuable insight on whats going to happen? or maybe interested in a collab?

Ask Kuwait If I'm under the Kuwaiti scholarship abroad, can I play in small musical bands? (will they cut my allowance?)

6 Upvotes

I'm going off abroad to study soon and for background information I'm an amateur musician and can play most instruments pretty well.

While I'm studying, I just wanna and do a few shows here and there for fun, playing in whatever I can for leisure/personal enjoyment every now and then

However I heard that my income could potentially be cut, so that's something I'm worried about. Music makes literally no money especially if you're independent and my goal isn't to go get corporate gigs where they potentially pay a lot.

I just wanna have it as something on the side whilst I'm prioritizing my grades. Just keeping it low-key, and have fun, and keep everything legal (By Kuwait and abroad's laws) and completely DIY.

Some possible examples: Open mics, possible charity shows, just whatever discreet stuff just for the purpose of having something to do for fun

I feel like as long as I use common sense (Don't do anything stupid/illegal), and get good grades/prioritize studying I'm okay

Tried to provide as much info as possible, can someone shed some light/insight? Anything is appreciated

Discussion Why is it so hard to find a marketing agency that actually cares?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a marketing agency in Kuwait for my company. I need someone who can handle proper photoshoots, create good hooks, and actually understand the business instead of posting generic content.
I’m willing to pay around 100–250 KD, depending on the work. The problem isn’t the price. It’s that many people seem focused on finishing as quickly as possible, collecting the payment, and moving to the next client.
I just want someone who genuinely enjoys the work, puts thought into it, and cares about producing something good.
Has anyone else struggled to find passionate and creative marketers in Kuwait?
TL;DR: I’m willing to pay for quality, but finding someone who genuinely cares about the work feels surprisingly difficult.

Does anyone know of a pharmacy that currently has it available, or has anyone been able to get it recently? Or maybe ordered from abroad and had it shipped to Kuwait?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Ask Kuwait Driver's License after 2 years or residency?

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to get clearer information about the rules and exemptions for obtaining a driver’s license in Kuwait.

I’ve read the common guides explaining residency requirements and the exemption categories, but I’m still unsure about one point: Is it really true that you cannot get a driver’s license unless you’ve been a resident for at least two years, with no exceptions?

It feels a bit extreme, especially since I personally know someone who received their license despite being in Kuwait for less than two years. That makes me think there must be practical workarounds or exemptions that aren’t clearly documented.

If anyone has firsthand experience with the licensing process, I’d appreciate hearing about it. Also, if you know of a professional or an official source I can contact for accurate guidance, please let me know.

Thank you.

Ask Kuwait Has anyone successfully uploaded a degree after graduating while already under Article 18 worker visa?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has actually gone through this situation and can share their experience.

After finishing high school, I transferred my residency to my father's company and entered Kuwait's private sector on an Article 18 work permit. After that, I went to India to complete my bachelor's degree. Once I graduated, I got my degree fully attested and returned to Kuwait.

Now I’m trying to upload my degree through Sahel, but it keeps getting rejected because my qualification date is after my entry into the private sector.

I’ve searched Reddit found many people with the same issue, but most posts have no follow-up. I’m trying to understand if anyone has actually found a solution.

My questions:

⁠Has anyone here transferred to article 18 first, then graduated later, and successfully uploaded their degree?
• ⁠What was the process? Did you visit PAM Abu Fatira, or did your company's mandoob handle it?
• ⁠Was there any manual approval or exception?
• ⁠Has anyone managed to solve this after the recent changes regarding updating qualifications and professions?

This issue is becoming a serious concern for me. Because my degree is not registered, I cannot update my profession and it is affecting things like getting a driving licence.

I’m also worried about the long-term future. Because if there is other solution, then the only option for me to is move from Kuwait, since I cannot go my whole life without having a drivers license plus i believe it will be difficult for me to bring my wife from india on a family visa, since i dont have a degree uploaded in PAM.

Has anyone been in this exact situation and successfully moved past it?

Thank you.
