How to find out the insurance details of an expat ( house worker ) employee? The employer said she has no insurance and I read it's impossible to apply for a visa without insurance. Her visa is valid on the domestic express service website.

In case of no insurance, isn't it mandatory for the employer to provide a visa?

Can we buy insurance on our own? kindly recommend any good private insurance without dental or other add-ons. Thank you

I think you are confusing different things. For LMRA visas, the fee that the employer pays for the so-called health fees.........is not actually insurance. It just allows an expat to get treatment at government health centers by paying a nominal fee........7 bd.

Private health insurance i.e. insurance which allows you to go to private hospitals, is NOT mandatory. And you can get it on your own. Google the different companies and see which of their policies fit your needs.

Thanks, Xtang, Cant appreciate your efforts enough in guiding the expat community in Bahrain! Over the course of 3 to 4 years, I have posted a lot of inquiries ( from diff accounts ) and you have answered every single one of them. These are the moments I feel thank you isn't enough!
