Residence transfer of wife to dependent visa
I am in Kuwait since 1987 and married. My wife is also here since 1988. Currently she is on a domestic visa, Article 20, and has completed eight years with the same sponsor, who is a good lady. I am working with a big automobile company on a basic salary of KD 260 per month holding residence Article 18. Now I want to sponsor my wife and transfer her residence from Article 20 to 18. My question is: Can I transfer her residence? If yes, how.

Answers: Yes, you can transfer her residence to a dependent visa. All you have got to do is apply for a dependent visa at the Immigration Dept in your area. As you are earning over the KD 250 required for such a visa, you should face no problems.
