I am a trained teacher from Ghana with eleven years of teaching experience. I also have certificates in banking and cashiering. Just recently, I was told by an agent that I could get a teaching job in Kuwait. I didn’t know there were differences in the visa.
When I arrived in Kuwait, I was told that my visa, Article 20, is only for house help job. Please help me because I didn’t sign any contract to that effect and the agent deceived me to believe that I was coming for a teaching job.
Now they said my visa is non-transferable so I must work as a house help for two years or pay 600 KD and go back to Ghana. I am begging you to use your honorable office to save me from this predicament.
1. Help me with a transferable visa
2. Help me get a teaching or cashier job. I have all my certificates.
