Question about Visa

Post new topic

Hi there...

I am outside of Bahrain

I am a physician and have a job offer.

I got an NHRA paper that was submitted to the LMRA for Visa.

Today I checked the status of my visa, there are two lines

In the first line (employment visa in progress ) and in the second line (not eligible to apply through the registration centers)?

What is expected in the future? The visa will be issued or is something wrong,

The visa will be issued.

@Makhraz1981 It's a normal status when the visa is applied. Its more likely to be issued unless you are from a country who are barred from employment at the moment.

Hi there

I  am from Pakistan i apply visit visa bahrain and i got but i just heard that visit visa not be change into work permit or company visa so what i should do now ???

Is this news true

@Basitshabbir137 it's a proposal in the parliament and not a law as of no but still there are chances that the visa conversion will be rejected. So its better to come on a employment visa directly to be on the safer side.
