I'm a Bahraini resident and looking to visit Kuwait soon...but noticed that the Visa on Arrival stipulate you are working certain professions only as a GCC resident.

Now on my CPR (printout) my profession is shown as one of those permitted...but the sticker on my passport only says: "Employee" under profession.

So now, is this an anomaly? can i use the CPR printout to show proof of my profession?

Anyone heard of such anomaly. Of course my HR dept don't really care so that is a no-go to ask them for a fix.

Thanks

Hi,

Kuwait is very strict with visa on arrival, i suggest you get it fixed and then travel. A colleague was in a similar situation they did not consider the CPR extract.
