I’m posting this on behalf of a female friend who came to Kuwait on 11 October for employment.
Today, she was supposed to go for her medical examination. I don’t know the specific details, but all I know is that she came to me sobbing, saying how her manager fed her some bullshit about how her master’s degree and paperwork aren’t correct, so the visa she came in on isn’t valid, and she needs to get a new visa by paying 400 KD.
She obviously said she doesn’t have that kind of money, and he replied by saying he could pay it off if she did him some sexual favors.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people, I will never know, but I have zero network or connections to anyone who can help with situations like this.
Please, anyone who has even some kind of connection to the Indian Embassy, please contact me.
I’m only 19 myself and have no idea how to navigate this situation.

I work with special needs kids and they really like this toy but it just broke. The problem is is that I ordered it from Temu and it'll take too long too arrive. Does anyone know where I can buy this toy in Kuwait? Thanks

I’m heavily into survival games but I don’t mind trying out new games at all so don’t hesitate to reach out

Some of my go to games:

-Project zomboid (I’ll stick a star sticker of friendship on your forehead if you play it)

-Tarkov
-Tekken
-Elden ring
-SDV
-Dayz
-League of legends
-DCUO
-Valorant
-Divinity ( VERY NEW TO IT )

I'm sure you have noticed how antisocial people have become. And I'm talking about myself too. I find it very inconvenient when someone wants to make plans with me. If I do go out, all I could think about is when am I going back home and be alone. I feel like that's the case for a lot or people. People don't take the time and effort to meet new people anymore and grow their circle. They can barely keep up with the one or two friends they have. Friendship break apart very easily. I KNOW people weren't like that in the past at all. Is it the social media? Are the people talking to us on tiktoks and real making us feel like we are talking to people and so we feel like we socialized? I really wonder🥹

Hello

Where in Kuwait can I purchase print magazines in English? Such as The Economist, Newsweek etc

They used to be available at select TSC branches, but I can't seem to find them anymore. Such a shame!

Hello guys, I am 34m, with wife and 3 year old child living with me in salmiya, recently I have lost my employment due to downsizing in my company. For a while due to the market conditions my pay was not quite enough and we are living month to month. Since 2 weeks I have tried every avenue, online portal, walking office to office with a cv in hand and have not gotten a single response. The upcoming month I don’t know how I will pay rent, or feed my family. My iqama also expires 3rd November. I was an IT project manager and have worked building softwares for various companies. Can anyone point me in a direction where I could get something work wise.

It’s really scary for me right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Every Friday, 1 hour / 2,000 floors / 1,000 calories on stair master at the gym.

Seeking a worthy competitor capable of surpassing my benchmark.

Reason: The current situation has become monotonous, and if someone can surpass me in performance, it would serve and reignite my competitive drive and determination.

I’m visiting my parents and I’d like for us to go out for sushi all u can eat buffet. What would be a good spot ?

If you can please include the price and how clean that place is I don’t mind paying more for cleanliness as raw fish is a magnet for disease if not done properly.

Thank you

Hi everyone!
Could someone please explain the new 51–49 profit sharing rule and the recently implemented freelancing regulations in Kuwait, particularly for expats?
Do these rules apply to all types of online businesses as well? For example, people earning through YouTube, online trading, or even providing online tuition?
I was also interested in freelancing as a student to earn some money online, so I’d like to understand whether expats are allowed to do this under the new regulations and what the requirements are.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could clarify how these rules affect expats who want to earn money online. Thank you!

Can anyone confirm whether visit visa for sister/brother are still being issued?

I'm finally able to apply for a driving license and I couldn't be happier. However I have no idea how to study for the test. I can't find any documentation online beside a 380 pages PDF which is basically the whole law. I'm sure this is not how people are studying for it, but I can't find an alternative. Is there any better way?

Hey everyone!

Quick question: Are there any Carrom players here in Kuwait who consider themselves pretty good at the game?

A few of us are working on a YouTube series where people compete against each other in different games, and we're currently putting together a Carrom episode.

We've got a really strong player lined up, and thought it would be fun to find someone from the community who's willing to challenge him.

You don't have to be a professional or anything. Just someone who enjoys Carrom and wouldn't mind a little friendly competition.

It'll be filmed in a studio here in Kuwait, so you'd need to be comfortable appearing on camera.

Anyone interested? Or know someone who's ridiculously good at Carrom?

I'm learing Spanish and find it hard to practice it here, if you know how to speak Spanish or a native Spanish speaker please send me a dm

Is there a place in Kuwait where we can get fresh coconut water?

Hey Guys!

I’m considering getting lasik done and was wondering about your experiences!

Where did you get it done, which doctor/ clinic would you recommend & how was your experience?

Was it covered by insurance? & how much did you cost?

Would really appreciate any recommendations, advice etc.

TIA!

​

Has anyone actually received the money?

How long did it take from submitting the application until receiving the payment?

Was the amount paid in one lump sum or in installments?

Is there a formula or a way to estimate how much money you are entitled to receive?

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, how to get a job in winter wonderland?

Looking for a steam deck that is used and doesn’t cost a fortune. I’m looking for an OLED one. Storage size doesn’t really matter. What are good places to find used ones and are available?

In the spirit of Halloween, let's hear your (horror) experience.

We’re talking creepy encounters, supposedly haunted places, and experiences you still can’t explain.

It doesn’t have to involve anything supernatural (sometimes the living can be scarier than the dead).

If your terrifying experience turned out to have a completely ridiculous explanation, as in you thought it was a ghost but it was actually a plastic bag? Feel free to share that too.

You don’t have to celebrate Halloween or believe in ghosts to join in. This is just an excuse to share spooky experiences, not a debate about religion or whether Halloween should be celebrated.

This goes without saying but keep it anon, we're not here for a witch hunt ;)

Now, which one of you is going to keep us all up at night?

I just bought a used car, and the previous owner used to smoke cigs in the car, and it reeks of smoke. Any recommended and preferably from experience, home car wash service that does deep cleaning and ac filter cleaning and everything. Thank you in advance

I’m a Kuwaiti citizen with a home-based business registered under Bab 5 (Chapter Five). I want to close my business and cancel my commercial license.

I have a few questions:

What is the exact procedure for cancelling a home-business license?

Do I need to publish a notice in a newspaper?

What documents do I need to bring to the Kuwait Business Centre?
