When I start work in Kuwait this year, I gather that I will need a Temporary Drivers Licence in order to drive shortly after arriving. How much of a hassle is it to get one of these?

I have the chance to buy a car from a returning expat. If I bought the car and then decided to sell it, would this be a problem - is there a second-hand car market in Kuwait?

Finally! How do car prices in Kuwait compare with UK prices?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to visit Kuwait, you can drive on an International License.

However, if you are going to work, it is not possible to acquire a Kuwaiti driving license until one has a Residency Visa and a Civil ID, which can take up to 12 weeks to obtain.

Have a look at <www.kuwaitpocketguide.com>
