I actually experienced using this app once, took their nearest cab around my area at 10pm and the driver was polite. He even had his photo posted on his profile. There was no extra charge. I guess I should try riding this free service on a Thursday. Read More

need a garantor in kuwait by oskybaba

I'm a Nigerian and I wish to visit kuwait on a tourist visa and the embassy say to me this morning that I need a garantor in kuwait who can send me an invitation letter! Can you help?

Pinay Diaspora

@oksybaba: A guarantor would simply mean a "sponsor". That person would either be a Kuwaiti or an expat that has a residency visa here capable of sponsoring you while you're here. Read More
