I would like to thank the Arab Times for the valuable advice which the expatriates are getting from your Legal Clinic column. I also have one question about the project visa transfer procedure.

I came from India to Kuwait on January 2010 on a project visa .This project lasted till April 2015 and for some reason the company cancelled this contract.

After 2 months I transferred to another company with a different sponsor but on a project visa only and this June I have already finished one year.

So my question to you is whether I can transfer to another private sector firm after I resign from this company or do I have to remain on a project residence?

Answer: No, you will not be allowed — according to the current laws — to transfer to the private sector and will have to remain on project residence.
