As far as I know , you will be able to convert your current licence to Kuwaiti licence but you would need to get a certain approval from the traffic department. When you come here you can go by yourself and talk to them because you must attend there.

I’m in the same situation as you exactly. Been in Kuwait 4 years and still can’t get a license. The official at the Ministry even told me “so what, there are lots of Moms in Kuwait and they have kids that go to school and they don’t have a license”. We are still tying to get me one 😒

Hello Yasin,

The forum is unfortunately not the place to look for jobs.

If you want, you can add your CV on Jobs in Kuwait.
