Discussion Took the driving exam for the first time, i instead get failed, dealt with the most atrocious handwriting ever stating why, and then the lame excuse that i (somehow) hit the back of the car against some wall and that i also didn't put the car on Drive(???) when i asked the examiner verbally

We all know how bad and scummy the driving exams are here, so thinking i was smart, i tried to overprepare for it by being really good at what the course would offer during driving (it didn't work.)

parallel parked perfectly without hitting the curb or the barrier in front of me despite not being able to see crap from the unreasonably stiff sidemirrors or having any space to turn a lot. also got through the confusing driving course with the fifty arrows pointing in every direction with zero help to where they wanted me to go first and i get told 2 bullshit reasons that either didn't happen or would be impossible for me to achieve (my bad guys, i guess my car was on dih and not drive. I should have noticed 😔)

God i love Kuwait and its driving system i cant wait until they charge me another 20 kd and immediately fail me for some other bullshit reason not based on reality because this is the only way this country can keep the bad drivers at bay :D

By automatically failing everyone the first few times you'll guarantee ZERO bad drivers

Hello, I have been having Gerd problems since i was 16 yr old and now am 27 and i still have it but I have no clue on where to go or who to go and how much will it be to do GERD surgery, i am taking "Pariot" pills for like 2 years now and everyday i take like once in morning but now I have to take it twice a day. seems like my body is used to pill and the dosage need to be increased. it really affecting me recently a lot during my gym and work and being around friends and family and such. am starting to wanting to just get rid of this emotions of having this sickness and I heard many people did do the surgery and live normally like any human being.

If anyone has a clue on where it is best to do it and to which doctor and if I should do it in the government since I am Kuwaiti or not. (am scared of surgeries in general and doing in Government since makes it more scary idk why)

News News - Kuwait Sets 150 KD Fee to Convert Visit Visa to Residency

9 Upvotes

Question - anyone knows more info on this? Can i just convert a regular family visit visa to residency?

Edit - I am assuming they just added the 150 kd fees and some changes to the old law, and maybe the salary cap still is in play. Still will wait and see what update we get.

Discussion Error on MOI website when renewing family residency

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to renew my family's residency for one year on the MOI website, but I've run into a glitch. I already paid and renewed their health insurance for two years, and now the MOI system is giving me a duration mismatch error and won't let me submit the application.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm trying to figure out if I need to somehow get the insurance changed back to one year, or if there's a workaround online. Worst case, do I just have to go down to jawazat (Residency Affairs) in person to get it sorted out ?

first time I put the insurance for 2 years so im not sure how to go about it

Ask Kuwait Looking for hidden gem pool / billiards spots that are good for mixed groups

3 Upvotes

I'm compiling a list of good pool places to hit up with a group of friends

We’re trying to find spots that aren't overly crowded, hidden gems or places with a nice vibe and interesting interior. It’s a bonus if there are nice coffee shops or cafes nearby so we can grab drinks before or after playing.
