I have been in Kuwait for  6 years. On my work permit (izn-amal) my designation is salesman and the salary is KD 450/-. I am a university graduate. I would like to know if I’m eligible for a driving licence? Is my designation on the Traffic Department’s exemption list?

Answer: No, your designation is not on the exemption list but you meet the criteria for a driving licence —

1) must have been in Kuwait for two years at the time of application.

2) must be earning at least KD 400 and

(3) must be a university graduate.

So, you can apply for a learner’s licence and if you pass the driving test get a licence.
