Golden Visa // Family

The rule applied to everyone who is the holder of a golden visa. If the primary applicant visa is cancelled, automatically all dependent visa will be cancelled even if they stays more than 90 days in a month.

@Mark-LIV Are you sure even primary applicant (here you) also need to stay inside Bahrain atleast for 90 days to keep the golden residency visa active.???? as none of the Bahrain NPRA website states such rule. All these rules are mentioned on 3rd party travel consultants website but nothing on bahrain.bh not on NPRA websites.

In case for example you get a job for 2 years out of Bahrain and you are back to Bahrain after 2 years by then according to 90 days rule your golden residency will expired.. then whats the use of giving 10 years residency visa.??

UAE already removed such must stay restrictions for UAE  golden visa. kindly clarify ..

Non of us has such experience since Golden residency scheme implemented few months ago, I do have the same concerns before I apply GV for my son who is studying outside Bahrain, he may not be able to stay 90 days in a year,

This is the main thread for this topic:

Read through the conversations there but basically :

1) The visa is still too new and no one knows how the stay requirement will apply ie 90 days each year etc. I made the same comments as you re: UAE on there earlier..... Except on the investment based visas

2) One person was told by NPRA that stay requirement will only apply to main visa and not the dependent visas.... Primarily because if the main visa is cancelled, the dependent ones will be cancelled automatically

@Saleemzb Its not that the golden visa is introduced just few months ago and the rules cannot be clear online... no where they mentioned about this 90 days compulsory inside Bahrain.

Rules should be clearly mentioned. not sure why hide this thing.

Read above.  Also the 90 day was announced in the newspaper by NPRA. Its not on the website. If you call the golden visa help line they will confirm it.

They have already mentioned very clearly in the Official gazette that 90 days should be inside Bahrain. I do not think you can get anything more official than the official gazette. So many are just checking some online newspapers and printed news and sharing the information.

90 days is clearly mentioned in Article 8 of the official gazette. So please refrain from sharing any information which is not from official documents.

ANY ONE HAS ANSWER FOR THIS POINT, WHICH IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE ON OFFICIAL WEBSITE -> After expiry of “Golden Residency Visa” what are conditions for renewal? For example do I need to stay inside Bahrain for 90 days minimum per year to keep the residency status active? (as my current job is in Saudi Arabia).

@topinsight01

can you share the link to gazette that says 90 days stay condition?

Just Google it. It was clearly said that 90 days a year is the stay requirement. Or better yet just call the golden visa section and they will tell you.

Hi. I work in Saudi and have a basic salary of more than 4000BD. Can anyone help me with applying for the Golden Visa? I tried the online application as a "Retiree" but there is a mandatory document called a 'Retirement Certificate'. Is there any alternative?
