My designation in work permit mentioned as labourer, but my actual designation is safety officer.If I am not eligible, kindly let me know the reason and if it’s due to my designation, please explain which designations are permitted are.Name withheld Answer: Under the Kuwait Traffic Law to qualify to apply for a driving licence you must satisfy the following conditions. 1. Be a university graduate. 2. Resident of Kuwait for at least two years upon first entry. 3. Earn a monthly salary of KD 600 or more.From the above, it can be seen that all things being equal you are qualified to apply for a driving licence but as to whether your application goes through or not is the exclusive reserve of the Traffic Department.We must point out that the issue of designation vis-a-vis driving licence only comes in when one doesn’t satisfy one or even all the conditions and is seeking exemption.Kindly send your queries to [email protected] or [email protected] Kindly go through our archives and refrain from sending repeated questions
