How this calculator works
Ordinary non-Kuwaiti pre-check: more than two years’ legal residency, university graduation and a valid private/general licence. Selected published exemption routes require an official profession or special-category match; the planner does not assume salary, fee or eligibility where the source does not state a universal rule.
