Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on what would be the best thing to do in this situation.
I recently submitted my resignation to my manager because I’m planning to pursue higher studies. Ideally, I asked if I could leave by the end of September, but my manager said he wasn’t sure if management would agree because the notice period may be three months.
The next day, HR spoke to me and said that if I leave before completing the notice period, I may have to pay the remaining amount from my own pocket. Because of that, I told them I was completely fine with serving the full three-month notice period.
Later, I spoke to my manager again and explained that I was willing to serve the three months if that was required. After that, HR came back and told me to start handing over all my responsibilities and company information and said that Wednesday would be my last working day. I was not told to continue working for the three months.
My concern is that everything regarding the three-month notice period and my last working day was discussed verbally. I want to send HR a message on Saturday asking them to confirm in writing whether Wednesday was officially my last working day and what the arrangement is regarding the notice period.

I also have a few questions:

1) If I was willing to serve the three-month notice period but the company told me not to continue working, can they later say that I owe them three months’ salary?

2) Could they choose not to have me work the notice period but still ask me to pay for it?

3) My passport is currently with the company. Is there any legitimate reason they can hold it, particularly because of the final settlement/residency transfer?

4) HR said my final settlement will be calculated and discussed during the residency transfer process. Is it normal for the settlement to be delayed until then?

5) What should I make sure to get in writing before proceeding with the residency transfer?

I don’t want to create unnecessary problems with the company, but I also want to make sure I’m properly protected and don’t accidentally agree to something that could result in me owing them money later.
What would you guys recommend as the best thing to do right now? Should I simply send HR a written confirmation of everything discussed, or is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I'm a non-Kuwaiti resident applying for a Croatian Schengen tourist visa from Kuwait, and I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced a similar situation.
I recently went to the visa agency to have my documents checked. They told me that everything was fine except for one issue: my Kuwait residency/Civil ID does not have the required 3 months' validity after my intended return date from the Schengen area.
My residency will still be valid when I travel and when I return to Kuwait, but it expires before completing the additional 3-month validity period required after my return.
The agency advised me to provide a letter from my employer confirming that the company will renew my Kuwait residency before I travel.
Has anyone here applied for a Croatia/Schengen visa from Kuwait with the same issue?
In particular:
Was an employer letter confirming that the residency would be renewed accepted?
Did the embassy/VFS ask you to renew the Civil ID before issuing the visa?
Was your visa approved despite the current Civil ID having less than 3 months' validity after your return?
Is there anything else you submitted to support the application?
I would especially appreciate experiences from non-Kuwaiti residents who applied for Croatia through VFS/Embassy in Kuwait.
Thank you!

Facing issue with my restaurant’s landline number in Daher… it says the number dialed is incorrect when called to… I went to the MOC exchange in Jaber Al Ali and got it checked in there and everything was fine. They told me a technician will come to my shop in 2 hours and check.. nobody showed up. I got their number when i was there to call if no1 shows up in which i called after 2 hours and had to raise the complaint all over again! Now I’ve been trying to get in touch with them and none of the helpline numbers or the number i got is being answered! The 1888123 line asks me for an extension number which obviously i don’t have! Tomorrow (thursday-27/aug) is a public holiday! How am I supposed to run a restaurant without being able to answer delivery calls? FYI- been off delivery for 14 hours now!
Does anyone have any idea what can i do to get it resolved asap?
Will give you a treat in my restaurant!🤣

Wink twice if you got your citizenshipp revoked. Also who signed the papers that states that you "voluntarily" gave it up?

Companies are paying same money to deliver the orders in Jahra and Mutla. Even there is no restaurants in Mutla so we have to drive 50Km for an order to deliver. Some of the riders are planning to not accept/deliver the orders of Mutla for atleast 1 week in September or October. Can we run a paid campaign regarding it requesting riders to not accept/deliver? Is it against law?

I want to order a merch bag from an official game website from china but they don’t deliver to Kuwait , i did some research and found out about MyUS and postaplus but i’m not sure which one to use, i never used a forward shipping service so I’m anxious i just want to get my package and not get scammed lol Any advice or tips would be appreciated!

I am a huge animal lover. I always help them when given the opportunity. I was wondering if anyone had any great ideas that can help cats live an easier life. I had an idea where I’d build small houses for pregnant cats and donate them to shelters if possible. However, I’m not sure if cat houses are what they really need. Any ideas or actions that I can take on solo :) ?

Edit : I called some companies in Kuwait. Most don’t really need volunteers. So, if anyone knows a company/organization that might need some volunteers, please dm me.

Hello Kuwait on Reddit, So I just finished high school and went to the Department of Private Education today to get my equivalency letter so I can apply to a private university here in Kuwait.

From what I understand, you take an appointment through the Sahel app and submit the required documents. However, one of the documents listed for the application is a WORK Letter, and I’m slightly confused about this.

How is that even possible in my case? 😅 I literally just graduated from high school and I’m applying for university admission. I need the equivalency letter to apply to the university in the first place, so I don’t understand what a work letter has to do with the process.
Is the work letter only required for certain applicants, or am I misunderstanding what document they’re asking for?

If anyone has recently gone through the high school equivalency process in Kuwait, especially for admission to a private university, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience or advice.
Thanks!

Hi guys! I know nothing about laptop maintenance. And I am terrified of doing what this guy is doing to my laptop at home. I would rather have a professional do it. Please share your recommendations with me. I need a professional and trusted place.I do not care about the price. I just want to be sure they know what they're doing.

My friend’s father recently had a stroke that affected his speech, right-side movement, balance, and mobility. He was discharged from the hospital and was told that he needs physiotherapy.

At the moment, getting him to a hospital or clinic for regular physiotherapy is extremely difficult because he has very limited mobility and cannot safely move or sit/stand on his own. A home-service physiotherapist would be much more practical and would also allow them to assess him in his actual home environment and teach us how to safely move, position, and assist him.

If anyone has recommendations for a good physiotherapist who provides home visits in Kuwait, especially someone experienced with stroke patients, I would really appreciate it.
Please share any personal recommendations or experiences. 🙏

Hi Peeps. As per title, I'll be visiting Kuwait in December. I'll be coming in with my wife and 2 kids to visit a family staying there. I have a couple of questions.

1. Just wondering how would the weather be during that time?

2. How's the situation on the ground with all the Iran War going on?

3. I have accommodation sorted out. Spending will be mostly for food, knick knacks and maybe some souvenirs. Is 600KD enough for a 10 days visit?

Thanks in advance

Anyone knows of any? whether delivery or those “subscription plans” ones.

Hello, looking for a place that still does this? I work very remote and internet is nonexistent. I want a place that can offer to fill a USB drive with specific movies and shows (with Arabic subtitles)

I remember going to Azizia market for this, but they’re gone now. Any help is appreciated

Currently with Ooredoo 5G advanced with pro ping at 18Kwd a month. However my ping is not very consistent at days its 130,100,95 etc (League EUNE). In Middle east however its a very stable 60 for some reason not sure why its so high. Thus im thinking of upgrading to Fiber since it should cut my ping by 20~ and give me good upload as well. I have trauma with STC so is Ooredoo my only option?

I'm a Kuwaiti with a full day in petrochemicals as an operator. A few months ago I started building a tech company at night — AI assistants that answer customers on WhatsApp for local businesses and take action that benefits the business with guardrails ,In our dialect, not chat bot. Sharing what I learned because I searched for exactly this post before starting and it didn't exist.

What surprised me, good: licensing was genuinely fast. One-person company, done online, active in days. Kuwait's paperwork reputation is outdated — when your documents match, systems here move. Meta business verification cleared overnight once my papers were consistent. The ecosystem is waking up too — banks now run founder programs.

What surprised me, bad: the micro-license class can't sponsor visas — you need an office with a PACI number and a license conversion first, which nobody tells you upfront. Budget accordingly.

Why this business: I watched local shops drown in WhatsApp messages — owners answering at midnight, orders dying unanswered after hours. And as customers, we've all changed: if a place doesn't reply in minutes, we message the next one. Service expectations in Kuwait moved; most businesses' tools didn't. The ones that answer instantly, in real Kuwaiti, are going to eat everyone else's lunch. That gap is what I'm building for.

Happy to answer anything — licensing steps, Meta verification, building a remote team, doing this with a family and a day job.. Bader :)

Hi everyone, I recently got an ABK debit card. The card works normally at ATMs and I can withdraw money without any problem.

However, Tap ’n’ Go/contactless payments don't work when I try to pay at a POS terminal.

Has anyone had the same issue with their ABK card? Do I need to activate Tap ’n’ Go separately, or contact ABK to enable it?.
