Kuwait: Work and stay
Working while studying in Kuwait and staying after graduation.
Work rights and after graduation
No official source on part-time work for international students in Kuwait was found. Decree 957/2019 art. 23 grants residence for study; art. 24 distinguishes residence 'without work'. KU states it may expel students who breach full-time status unless approved to combine study and work (search-summary of KU announcement, not directly verified). Do not present any work right to applicants.
After graduation: No official post-study stay or job-seeker residence found. Decree 957/2019 ties study residence to continued study (art. 23).
