Hey guy's and girls.

I'm looking at moving out to Bahrain at the start of February 2013. I will have money behind me which i've saved up from work so i can rent a flat for 3 months while finding work. The only issue I'm having is getting my head around the visa. I will be looking for a job after about 2 weeks. What visa do i need to obtain to enter the country and then when i start to job hunt.
Thank you in advance for your help.
B

You can get a visa at the airport or order it online - search for Bahrain Visas on Google and you can go to the evisas website. You will need to select "Other" as visa type and type "Visit" as the purpose. It will show you the evisa option for 3 months.

You can still come and look for work under your visa - but you cannot work. What you will have to do anyway is once you get the job offer, you will have to go back to the UK to have your health checks done, and then come back here on a work visa. Your employer should provide you all the information you need for this.
