Current situation

My work visa got cancelled while I was outside the country. I haven't claimed my indemnity.

I heard, To claim indemnity we need advanced Ekey and need to visit the offer to get the advanced Ekey

1. Can I travel to Bahrain in a visit visa and apply for ekey? Since I don't have valid visa, is it possible?

2. Is there any possibility of doing this without visiting office?

What is the best possible solution to claim indemnity?
