Answer: For your information, the minimum monthly salary required to be able to apply for a family visa has been increased from KD 450 to KD 500 to be able to apply for a family visa you should therefore, be earning KD 500. This means that your KD 400 which you hope to have it increased to KD 450 wont’ be enough for you to sponsor your family.

For a woman to be married and still be under the sponsorship of her father is against the laws of Kuwait. We therefore, advise that you take steps to correct this anomaly especially that both of you are now in Kuwait. To do this the only avenue opened to you is to seek the transfer of your wife’s residence from her father’s to your’s. We must however caution that success on this target is not guaranteed and there is also a possibility of your father-in-law running into problems for sponsoring a married daughter.
