The legal route
How recruitment for Kuwait actually works.
The Kuwaiti employer obtains a work permit (Article 18 visa) from the Public Authority for Manpower, attests the demand letter and power of attorney at the Indian Embassy in Kuwait, and we register it on e-Migrate before sourcing begins.
Nothing about that sequence is optional and nothing about it is quick. Any agent who promises you a Kuwait job without an employer’s attested demand letter behind it is either guessing or lying — and it is worth asking them to show you the licence number before you pay anyone anything.
