I’m locally hired in Kuwait and this is my 3rd company that I am working. My question is: can I transfer visa to another company even though I’m newly hired only a month ago? My current employer is willing to give a release anytime. I’m not a degree holder.

Name withheld

Answer: The law says that if you are not a degree holder but you are hired locally you can only ask for a release after working for one year. However, since your employer is willing to give you a transfer before the expiry of the one year service period, we advise that you try your luck at the Immigration Department with your transfer request and who knows you may be successful
