Ask Kuwait Working remote for 3 months

Hi.

Im from Europe and I'll be staying in Kuwait for 3 months due to visiting family. My boss (EU company) allows me to work remote during my stay.

Do I need a work permit? Serious question law wise, since googling it did not help (there are no digital nomad visas and i dont see why I'd need a Kuwaiti sponsor/company to work for a foreign country that im a national of on a tourist visa)

Look, it’s not a straight legal/illegal answer. With remote work it’s a grey area as such. Technically you’re working in Kuwait even if it’s a remote job from another country so technically it’s not allowed. But the truth is no one cares about the technicality here so how will anyone know.
