Bye bye Kuwait

Posted by bye bye kuwait on 5/5/2024 2:57:06 pm

after working 24 years in kuwait, we have decided to wind- up and return to india. although i have stable job and salary also coming on time, i don’t like to work in a routine.

i visit india once in a year although i like to go out of kuwait frequently but don’t get leave easily. never ever attended wedding, birthdays, family functions in india so missing all those events.

made enough savings to survive next 20 years. own home so not rent headache.

the big question is what to do in india. i don’t like to work anymore else what is the point going back.

OCI - Overseas Citizen of India

Posted by born indian on 5/5/2024 2:39:02 pm

when contacted indian embassy (bls) to issue relationship affidavit to bring parents who are on indian passports, they refuse to give relationship affidavit to oci saying that foreign nationals cannot apply for relationship affidavit. i found this ridiculous as parents are indian passport holders and on the oci registration book issued by mea its mentioned the name of the parents just like ordinary indian passport.

is there any other way i can prove to the kuwait authorities my relationship with parents so they can issue a visit visa. any guidance will be highly appreciated.
note: i have a xerox of my birth certificate issued in india.

Posted by abdul rahman on 5/2/2024 12:37:42 pm

greeting,

hi i wanted to know if i can bring my family (wife and kid) on a family dependent visa if my salary is 850 kwd and if i am not an engineer. my designation is "sales man" in my izne amal, so please help me out with this question,

although i am an engineer but i don''t have a kse card due to many requirements from kuwait government, i tried to get one but my university is not accredited with nba and vice versa, so i do have a degree but in "izne amal" it is only written sales man.

please clarify to me if i can bring my family on 850 kwd as sales man.
