***Female applicants: please note an important point regarding residency and sponsorship in Kuwait. Currently, women are not permitted to sponsor dependents. This means you would not be able to sponsor a husband or children for residency in Kuwait.
Conversely, a husband could also explore employment opportunities in Kuwait, and if successful, he would be able to obtain his own residency and then sponsor children.
We understand this may be a significant consideration, so we wish to be fully transparent at the point of application.
