Masa alkhair (Good Afternoon)
Yes, thats exactly what it feels like. Getting anything done here is like a chicken chase. Running around trying to get something that seems just out of reach. Went into KWC and sat around for 30 minutes and drank tea, coffee and water until our driver drove us to a place where we did the vision test. Drive time 15 minutes. Read six letters from a chart, the clerk stamped our paperwork and then we left. Total time at that location was about 10 minutes. Driver then drove us to another location ( again maybe 15 minutes) where a doctor or lab person asked me what my blood type was. I told him and off we went again, total time there was 10 minutes. Drove back to the first location, drank some more tea, coffee or water and watched a bit of TV in the reception room. Sat there for about 30 minutes then the driver came and asked us if we wanted to go back home.
This is when we (three of us) asked about the driver licenses and especially about the US driver license we turned in and a few other questions about when we would get the Kuwait driver license. The main person then came in and returned our US licenses, and told us we would have the Kuwait licenses late today or for sure tomorrow. .
I see so much need for a streamlined process here. Maybe they could create a DMV where you could do this entire process, say 3 or 4 hours instead of 3 or 4 months.
We will see tomorrow!
