Since 2012 I have been working as an engineer in Kuwait. Now I am trying to bring my family here. Recently I read the news that expatriates need a minimum KD 450 salary on their work permit to get a dependent visa for their family. I have an engineering visa and on my work permit it is mentioned that I have a KD 400 basic salary. Is that a problem to bring my wife to Kuwait on a dependent visa? Name withheld Answer: If you had read the news carefully, it was clearly mentioned that you must have a salary of at least KD 450 mentioned on the work permit. It doesn’t matter how much you are earning, if the salary on the work permit is less than KD 450 your application for a dependent visa will be immediately rejected.
