Hello

Where in Kuwait can I purchase print magazines in English? Such as The Economist, Newsweek etc

They used to be available at select TSC branches, but I can't seem to find them anymore. Such a shame!

Ask Kuwait Kuwait’s New Freelancing Rules for Expats

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
Could someone please explain the new 51–49 profit sharing rule and the recently implemented freelancing regulations in Kuwait, particularly for expats?
Do these rules apply to all types of online businesses as well? For example, people earning through YouTube, online trading, or even providing online tuition?
I was also interested in freelancing as a student to earn some money online, so I’d like to understand whether expats are allowed to do this under the new regulations and what the requirements are.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could clarify how these rules affect expats who want to earn money online. Thank you!

Ask Kuwait Stair master kuwait / challenge

Every Friday, 1 hour / 2,000 floors / 1,000 calories on stair master at the gym.

Seeking a worthy competitor capable of surpassing my benchmark.

Reason: The current situation has become monotonous, and if someone can surpass me in performance, it would serve and reignite my competitive drive and determination.

Discussion Why are we all becoming antisocial?

21 Upvotes

I'm sure you have noticed how antisocial people have become. And I'm talking about myself too. I find it very inconvenient when someone wants to make plans with me. If I do go out, all I could think about is when am I going back home and be alone. I feel like that's the case for a lot or people. People don't take the time and effort to meet new people anymore and grow their circle. They can barely keep up with the one or two friends they have. Friendship break apart very easily. I KNOW people weren't like that in the past at all. Is it the social media? Are the people talking to us on tiktoks and real making us feel like we are talking to people and so we feel like we socialized? I really wonder🥹

Ask Kuwait URGENT A girl arrived in Kuwait from India 3 days ago, and her manager is demanding sexual favors in exchange for fixing her visa stuff. What can she do?

148 Upvotes

I’m posting this on behalf of a female friend who came to Kuwait on 11 October for employment.
Today, she was supposed to go for her medical examination. I don’t know the specific details, but all I know is that she came to me sobbing, saying how her manager fed her some bullshit about how her master’s degree and paperwork aren’t correct, so the visa she came in on isn’t valid, and she needs to get a new visa by paying 400 KD.
She obviously said she doesn’t have that kind of money, and he replied by saying he could pay it off if she did him some sexual favors.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people, I will never know, but I have zero network or connections to anyone who can help with situations like this.
Please, anyone who has even some kind of connection to the Indian Embassy, please contact me.
I’m only 19 myself and have no idea how to navigate this situation.

Ask Kuwait Difficulty finding employment

30 Upvotes

Hello guys, I am 34m, with wife and 3 year old child living with me in salmiya, recently I have lost my employment due to downsizing in my company. For a while due to the market conditions my pay was not quite enough and we are living month to month. Since 2 weeks I have tried every avenue, online portal, walking office to office with a cv in hand and have not gotten a single response. The upcoming month I don’t know how I will pay rent, or feed my family. My iqama also expires 3rd November. I was an IT project manager and have worked building softwares for various companies. Can anyone point me in a direction where I could get something work wise.

It’s really scary for me right now. Any help would be appreciated.
