If both sides are agreeable, an offer of employment will then follow and the company HR department will take over all aspects of bringing the new instructor to Kuwait.

* Within the first 2-4 months instructors will be issued with Kuwaiti residency and are then able to sponsor wives to come and join them.

General Comments
Kuwait is safe and there are thousands of Brits, Americans and Europeans here teaching and working in other sectors, this means the possibilities of a reasonable social life are good. There are plenty of groups, parties, sport centers, beaches, dive sites, shopping centers, restaurants, weekend trips abroad. It's an affluent place and you can save good money.
