Before I start please Reach out to people you know of who are in this situation even if you're not close. Sending out prayers is the least you could do but it would mean so much instead of pretending they don't exist. Don't wait for them to ask for help because they probably won't ask you, they are not used to this!

From what I've seen people are experiencing different combinations of what I'm going through, some are having it worse like being forcefully evacuated from their homes, suspension of financial aids and more

For us it's..

No School for children

No more University (even if you are willing to pay for your own tuition fees in kuwait)

Abroad scholarships are suspended and a ban of entry to kuwait was placed

We don't have bank accounts anymore (Many places in kuwait like hospitals and pharmacies don't accept cash payments)

If you have loans banks will spam you with payment demand messages and even send lawyers to go after you and threaten to seize your assets

No sahel app

Family members Fired from their jobs (No income)

No Valid identification documents

Owned Businesses are dissolved

You can't sell any assets that are under your name (ex:cars)

No Valid passports (we can't leave the country)

No Governmental health care (even for sick elders)

We cant file a lawsuit or demand to know revocation reasons and proof

And for those of you asking as to seek mental care help, read the room we don't have IDs and no income or probably half of the income we used to earn (rare case)

Hi everyone,

​I’m facing a complicated situation regarding my business sponsorship and need some advice.

​My citizenship was revoked, resulting in my file being closed along with my Civil ID and Sahel access. However, I currently have employees registered under my sponsorship.

​Renewal question: Can these employees still renew their residency if I physically go with them to Jawazat (Immigration)? Or is there an alternative legal pathway since the main sponsor file is closed?

​Next steps / Solutions: What is the best practical solution for these employees? Should they look into doing a temporary extension (tamdeed), or is it better/faster for them to secure a release (tanaazul) and transfer to a new sponsor?

​Any guidance from people familiar with Public Authority of Manpower (PAM) or Jawazat procedures regarding revoked files would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any AIU students here?

I have scholarship in kuwait but after they cancelled the scholarship they wanted me to pay or else I’ll have fees that I needed to pay later.So I froze it for the meantime. Ì have 4 years of studying in AUM. I have until next year of second course.

Idk what to do here …

Hi, I want to send a gift card to my friend in Kuwait (I live in another GCC country) so any suggestions?

I found an app called yougotagift, but I don’t know if it’s trustworthy or not.

If you know a way where I can buy a gift card and send it from outside Kuwait, please help.

Thank you

For the past years, my wife and I have been celebrating Halloween by doing a horror movie marathon every October. A horror movie a day till the day of Halloween and each day has its own different theme every year.

This year we’re happy to share our list and spread our love of horror movies and all of its quirky sub-genres with the local community here in Kuwait. We’d love to hear back from those who share our interest and introduce more people to this genre.

Hi guys, I have been trying to upload my university degree on Sahel and it keeps saying "inaccurate academic data"

I don't know what that means, I am writing the same details as mentioned on the certificate.

Has anyone had this trouble? Am I doing something wrong? Did anyone find a solution to this?

Applied to Schengen visa in the first week of September and my intended travel date was 6th October.

I feel like they had a lot of file so the processing was slow, I e-mailed them twice but got no response. I just collected my passport and it had a rejection form 10 & 13 which I was expecting tbh.

Whatever I had to travel somewhere else so I was skeptical that I somehow needed my passport back as I haven't gone somewhere for vacation in 4 years.

Nevertheless I can now start focusing on something else and be happy🤞

For the past month, I’ve been trying to learn Kuwaiti Arabic, and honestly, in the beginning it was quite frustrating. 😅

I found it surprisingly difficult to find good resources specifically for the Kuwaiti dialect. There are plenty of resources for MSA or other Arabic dialects, but not that many practical ones for someone who specifically wants to learn Kuwaiti Arabic.

I especially struggled to find things like PDFs, structured lessons, vocabulary lists and exercises in one place.
So I ended up doing something slightly crazy 😂 — I started making my own with help of my friends (Kuwaitis).

I created a beginner-friendly book/workbook for myself, with things like Kuwaiti Arabic vocabulary, useful everyday phrases, basic grammar, example sentences, exercises and fill-in-the-blank activities, sentence-building exercises and practical phrases you would actually use in everyday conversations.

It basically started as something I needed for myself, but now I’m turning it into an online version because I’m wondering if other people might find it useful too.
I’m thinking about putting it on an online platform and selling it for a let’s say 2KD

So I wanted to ask people here who are learning Kuwaiti Arabic:
Would you actually pay for something like this? And what would you want to see included in it?

For example, would you find sections about texting, relationships, ordering food, daily conversations, Kuwaiti slang, pronunciation, listening practice, etc. useful?
I’d really appreciate honest opinions — especially from people who are currently learning Kuwaiti Arabic or have tried to find resources for it. I’m still working on it, so I’d rather improve it based on what people actually need before putting it online. 🇰🇼❤️

Hi everyone,

I was born and raised in Kuwait and now I’m finally planning to return after I finish my medical degree. I’m looking for any info on how to apply, what medical licensing I’ll need, is there a way to complete my residency in Kuwait and how is the pay and work life balance?

Overall, how is Kuwait for living? I left 11 years ago and I visit often but never long enough to truly see what it’s like for a regular person to live there

Due to the vapor chamber feature, does your iPhone still show an “iPhone too hot to use” warning?

I’ve got an iPhone 15 pro and I get this warning all the time while I’m driving, which is annoying because I rely on navigation

Wife and daughter recently moved to Kuwait from the UK. My wife travelled on a work visa, while my daughter entered Kuwait on a three-month visit visa.
I would like to know if there is any way to transfer my daughter from a visit visa to a family/dependent visa without my wife’s residency being stamped first.
Wife is a teacher, and her residency stamping is taking some time due to the processing involved. However, my daughter’s visit visa expires on 14 November. Could you please advise if there is any alternative procedure or option available in this situation?

I have a few things at home that I’d rather donate than throw away/sell!

I’m ideally looking for a charity or organization that offers pickup from the house, as some of the items are quite bulky.

Does anyone know of a reliable place/organization that does this? I’d really appreciate recommendations

I’m visiting Kuwait after a long time and want to explore some nice places and spend some good time with friends. Looking for places that are free or about max 5kd but still worth visiting.

Any recommendations for beaches, parks, markets, hidden gems, or just nice places to hang out?

I'm writing this because I don't know where else to turn, and I am desperately hoping someone here has been through something similar or can offer some advice. Recently, my Kuwaiti citizenship was revoked and my life has completely spiraled out of control ever since.

The mental toll this has taken on me is indescribable. I have been struggling deeply with severe depression and intrusive suicidal thoughts. It feels like my entire identity, security, and future were erased overnight, leaving me in a terrifying limbo. The isolation makes it so much worse cause many of my cousins and relatives still have their citizenship, so I am one of the very few in my family who lost it. I feel like an outsider looking in on a life I used to belong to. It is a very lonely kind of grief, and it feels like no one around me truly understands the panic I am waking up to every single day.

Practically, my life has come to a complete standstill. I can't even access my bank account anymore, which leaves me financially stranded and helpless. I know I need to sort things out, but the government institutions require a mountain of complex paperwork just to figure out my status. The problem is, I am in such a dark place mentally that I can barely function. Just getting out of bed in the morning and brushing my teeth feels like an impossible, exhausting task, let alone navigating hostile government bureaucracies while fighting off panic attacks.

I just want a way out. I feel like my only option to have a future is to immigrate to the UK or the US and start completely over, but I have absolutely no idea how to do that or what visa/asylum pathways even apply to my situation.

Has anyone navigated a sudden loss of citizenship like this? How do you even begin the immigration process when your accounts are frozen and you're stripped of your legal standing? How do you keep going when you've hit rock bottom? Any advice, resources, or just words of support would mean the world to me right now. I feel so incredibly lost.

I need my macbook looked at for potential water damage. What is everyone's go to place? Need it look at asap because I need it for work

Hello everyone, this post is strictly for people who has their kuwaiti citizenship revoked. I wanted to know if someone has their block lifted from their kuwaiti passport.
Because I want to travel and they put block on everyone passport since September despite them saying they will lift the block? They said we have 1 year from the revocation to be able to travel.
