Good morning It’s amazing to read the issues and queries daily and which helps us to know the rules and laws of the country where we have come to work. It’s wonderful and our pleasure to read such issues without any fees. I heartily thank the Arab Times Legal Clinic portion for providing us such kind of help and awareness.

My wife works in company under Visa 18 transferable, which was converted earlier from Visa 22 when the salary cap of dependent visa was 250. But now it’s 450 and where my work permit shows only KD 427, is it possible to transfer under husband sponsorship again from 18 to 22. I have one child who is under my sponsorship already. Seeking your help to know more.

Answer: Since your wife was originally on Visa 22 but later transferred it to Visa 18, we believe that you will be able to bring her back under your sponsorship despite the fact that your salary falls short of the KD 450 salary cap. As indicated, you have one child under your sponsorship, this we believe will help your case to bring back your wife under your sponsorship.
