I am working in the private sector and my salary is below KD 250. I have an offer in the government sector where my salary shall exceed KD 250. I want to call my wife on a visit now since I cannot call her on family visa. My question is that if I resign my present job after calling her on visit, will she have to leave the country?

Is there any problem in converting her visa status from visit to family after I change the job?

Answer: To be able to bring your wife and family to Kuwait, you need to have a salary of KD 250. You can bring your wife on a visit visa now, but remember that visit visas cannot be transferred into any other visa. So, after obtaining a family visa for her, she has to leave the country and then come back. She will not have to leave the country when you resign because you are transferring your residence and not cancelling.
