Does Kuwait have visa bans if you quit like the Emirates, Saudi, and Qatar. If so, how long? Thanks for your responses.
Feel free to pm. |

only the kuwaiti courts can have someone 'blacklisted' from entry into/exit from kuwait
this is done as a result of a judgement against against someone in a criminal or civil case filed against them
a recent example is the asst principal at al bayan bilingual school who had a parent file a dubious case against her and the won this temporary judgement to keep the principal in the country to settle the case
another eample is if a teacher pulls a 'runner' and the employer files a case and wins prohibiting the person from entering kuwait again
this process is not automatic - someone must file a case and appear before a judge to request this ban
as kuwait is tied into all GCC countries, a ban in kuwait is theoretically a ban to all GCC countries.....and as all foreigners are fingerprinted it is assumed that changing a passport would not be a viable way of getting around the ban, but who knows? |

you can enter your kuwaiti civil id number into the ministry of interior website to see if you have a case filled against you or if you are 'blacklisted' |

what if someone pulls a 'runner' before they got their civil ID? |

then the employer can still file a case and request 'blacklisting'
a civil id is not necessary for this |

I didn't do a runner. I'm just asking to know what will happen in the future if I get a job there, but decide to formally resign because I get another offer in another GCC country. So is it safe to assume that there generally is no ban except under certain circumstances? |

if you do not break the terms of your contract (eg give them proper notice) or otehrwise do anything illegal, you shouldn't get a ban |
