Entry on visit visa

Post new topic

Dear friends,

I am seeking an urgent suggestion please.

i am currently working in Bahrain. I want to bring my husband on dependent visa, for which my company is applying. My husband has a multiple entry visit visa for 1 year, and he recently visited me, now left.

please suggest:

  1. can my husband enter Bahrain again on visit visa, even if dependent visa application is processing in background ?
  2. should I wait for him to enter in Bahrain again, and then apply for dependent visa ?
  3. are there any immigration issues for a person entering on visit visa, and dependent visa application is also submitted ?

thanks

The easiest way would have been to bring him here on visit visa and then convert it to dependent visa while he is in the country.   I don't know why you went the other route.   If visit visa is valid, he can enter without issue.

thanks for your response 

He was here for some time but he had to go for some urgernt matter.

now should i submit application for dependent visa, and ask him to re enter ? will it not cause any immigration issue ?

I already answered.  Bring him here on existing visit visa and then convert.
