hi all.

today i submitted for exit paper from sahel.
start date 15th july and end date 22nd july.

i am planning to travel to india with my newborn baby who was born recently in kuwait. the baby has:
a valid passport

the civil id number appears in my mobile id app

however, the physical civil id card has not been printed yet.

can someone please confirm:

is it allowed to travel from kuwait to india (kuwait airways) with a newborn if the residency is issued but physical civil id is pending?

is the mobile id or a printout from the moi website accepted at immigration?

any additional documents i should carry to avoid issues?

if anyone has experienced this recently, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Visa Transfer Failure Due to Company file (Malaf) Block

Posted by akhilesh raj on 7/6/2025 2:06:51 pm

i am sharing my personal experience here.
if the company file is closed and you wants to transfer the visa to new company ,
1. try to talk to your hr or mandoop and know the possibility of opening the company file if there is less chance to open. then go to the shoon
2. my address belongs to farwaniya so i visited abu fatira shoon with the below listed documents

documents for opening an exception complaint (cancellation or transfer)
new, sealed internal printouts.
1 - residence sequence -(from moi general dept. of residency affairs)
2 - resident statement. - (from moi general dept. of residency affairs)
3 - entry and exit movement. (from security systems general directorate- near to jazeera terminal)
4 - security control. (from security systems general directorate- near to jazeera terminal)

. exception request form + opening an exception complaint (cancellation or transfer) from the typists.

. obtaining a username from the unit to which the worker belongs in the work permit.
(for creating user id and opening complaint go through https://labour.manpower.gov.kw/)
. the worker must be present in person

3. if we didn''t complete one year in kuwait the complaint may not be registered through online - in that case. inform this to the officer over there
4. after registration of complaint we will get the date and time for hearing from online portal itself . print out the appointment and go as per the date. explain the situation to officer.
5.next follow-up''s and decisions will know by checking the complaint enquiry from the online portal.


please don''t waste your time and money for vastha.

Need Help Getting KNET Machine for My Laundry Shop

Posted by just wash on 7/5/2025 10:31:01 am

hello everyone,

i am currently running a laundry shop here in kuwait under visa 18. the business is decent, but i’m facing a challenge in getting a knet machine for my store.

i visited a few banks to inquire about getting knet, but they all informed me that it can only be issued in the name of the sponsor, or i need a no objection certificate (noc) from my sponsor. unfortunately, my sponsor is not willing to provide the noc.

is there any other legal way to get a knet machine in this situation? has anyone here faced a similar issue or found a workaround? i really want to offer knet payment to customers, as it’s in high demand and affects my business.

any advice, suggestions, or guidance will be highly appreciated. thank you in advance.

best regards,
