Apologies if this is repeated. I tried searching your archives guess I didn’t do a good job searching. My question is quite simple.I am an accountant, the same is mentioned in my Iqama, I earn about KD 400 a month. And I have been in Kuwait for over two years. My Iqama is also renewed for another two years, Am I eligible for applying for a driving licence? I searched the web to my best knowledge I know the only thing holding me back is my low salary because the minimum salary cap is KD 600 or 650? Every place I look I get a different answer so not sure what to believe.I also know that being an accountant only exempts me from validity criteria not the salary criteria. Is that also correct? Looking forward to your replay.Name withheld Answer: You can apply for a driving licence even though your salary is below the minimum monthly salary. But before you can present your application you have to apply for exemptions from meeting the salary requirement. You qualify to do this as an accountant which is one of a number of professions that are given that opportunity.Kindly send your queries to [email protected] or [email protected] Kindly go through our archives and refrain from sending repeated questions
