Visa transfer to another company, but six months salary not paid
I need some legal help on the visa transfer issue. I came to Kuwait on the current company’s visa and I have worked over 5 years for the company. I have more than 6 months salaries pending with the company. Now if I want to transfer to a new company, after getting a job offer, then what would be my position if the current employer is not ready to release me even in this scenario?

Answer: The company has to release you after you have completed 3 years with them. They should also pay your six months salaries. If the company refuses to give you a release or pay your salaries just go to the Labor Office in your area and file a complaint.
