I am moving to Kuwait, what can 1000 KD a month get me?

Posted in Kuwait forum

I was offered a contract from a company in Kuwait. The salary would be 1000KD a month. I would like to live comfortable as well as save a little money at the same time. I was wondering if that was a good salary to have?

    Thanks, very different opinions, may be it can't be predicted.....here some people told me that it is around 2-3 months (who knows).... Is it necessary to have work permit to start work!? I suppose that what kind of visa will be issued depends on the employer because actually he starts the procedure ......

    Hi Jessica,

    I am moving to Kuwait right after you by a month or so. I would love to get to know how you would have made out by then. Maybe you can share your experience as it unfolds:-)

    Good Morning Jessica,

    Your 1000KD per month is approx 40,000 USD (depending on the exchange rate at the time) In Kuwait you can live quite comfortably depending on your expectations though. I would say that the cost of living is less than parts of the US. Especially the larger cities in the US. You do not have to pay for electric or gas here, being American you would still have to pay US taxes although Kuwait is a tax free zone. Depending on your job you may not need a car since taxi's are good value. Overall it is a good place to live, the people are friendly and usually helpful. Summer is very hot and winter can be colder than you would expect.

    Anyway good luck if it all goes ahead.

    Andrew
