To work in Kuwait, you will need an offer of employment to apply for a work visa. In addition, most visas will require background checks. There are millions of expats living in Kuwait. Although there has been talk of limiting the sectors in which businesses can employ expats favouring locals, there remain multiple opportunities. Much of these centre around the oil sector, and demand from internationals and multinationals looking for foreign expats with English fluency and accreditations or qualifications is high. The economy is dominated by oil, with around 104 million barrels in reserve, accounting for over 8% of the worldwide reserves. Manufacturing also centres on oil-rated products and generally involves producing exports for the overseas market. Growing sectors include financial services, business services and real estate.
