EFL Educator had noted that the paper shufflers there seem to enjoy making ESL teachers, and others, WAIT in a Q for everything. I got it.

Why do you refer to Kuwait as Q Wait? It´s hardly an abbreviation like KSA, is it? It doesn´t even correspond to the the pronunciation favoured by citizens of the great little emirate, which is more like KWAIT.  |

EFL educator has created cutesy little names for each country which are used repetitiously on each post. Humor him/her... seems harmless if juvenile.

I didn´t get it. My experience of Kuwait was that minions employed by my employers did the queueing and waiting. Even in supermarkets the service was better than in Spain because staff was so cheap. |

I have crossed the border and used the airport a few times. It wasn't always smooth. I got it.

So the tourist visa is good for 90 days, right? What happens after that? Will they keep extending them every three months Saudi style for business visas,, or does that cause a problem?
