Hi,

Does anyone know if Kuwait grants tourist visas on arrival for British citizens? If yes, what documents are required?

Thanks.

How difficult is it to make new friends here?

I'm a 23M, and throughout my life, most of my friends have been people I met at school or university. However, over time, I realized they weren't the best influences or good people, so I distanced myself from them

If I would start over and make new friends what’s the best way in doing so?

What're the best free debit cards

My friend is looking to open a new bank account for free through his phone. I already have a WeYay card, but unfortunately, he doesn’t qualify since he’s over the age limit of 25. Could you please recommend some good options for free debit cards that he can apply for?

Kuwatis married to saudis in kuwait

Hey guys. not to get into too much details the title says it all. Is there anything you'd have approve with both governments? and how hard is it finding a job for my soon to be wife in kuwait and would a government sector take her? Would she be considered an expat and wouldn't have the same pay as kuwaitis?

I'd love to also hear different perspectives on things if I did miss anything. Thanks in advance.

Eswt (focused shockwave therapy) in Kuwait?

Helloo!

Eswt is used for treating many issues, and lately it was proven to be great for ED, and more serious problems. However, MOST doctors and clinics are using the "i n f e r i o r" machine when treating urology problems (placebo effect was proven better than these machines in many cases). Thankfully, my doctor is awesome and honest, and he rejected the treatment since they only have that machine (radial type) in his clinic (find me a doctor who refuses free 1000 KWD lol! )

My question is:

Does anyone know any clinic or hospital that have a "focused" shockwave therapy machine? I have a rare disease that if not treated early would devovle into a mess that needs surgery.. So, this would really help!

I truly appreciate your kindness

Getting married to a Kuwaiti in Kuwait as an expat—do you still get the government marriage grant?

Hi everyone! I’m an expat working here in Kuwait, and my fiancé (soon-to-be husband) is a Kuwaiti. We’re getting married very soon, and I’ve heard that the government provides financial support or a grant when a Kuwaiti gets married.

Does this apply if one of the spouses is an expat, or is it only for couples where both are Kuwaiti? My fiancé isn’t entirely sure either, so I thought I’d ask here.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Any store you recommend that sell these type of thick clear plastic table covers? I saw some online but they are quite thin. I do not want to wait for Temu delivery as well :)
