Hi Rita,

You questions are quite difficult to answer as it would be difficult to find someone to guide you in this regard and you have got to be careful while talking about "Free Visa" arrangements.

Human Trafficking in Bahrain  is a large business, you pay a lot of money to get the "Free Visa", you never get the chance to see your sponsor, and everything is usually done through a mediator.

Many people who come on a Free Visa are facing trouble after their sponsor reports them as runaway or absent from work to LMRA. In this instance, they will be deported and blacklisted which means that, they won't be able to come back again.

Coming to Bahrain on a Free Visa means you cannot find a proper job, or leave the country unless your sponsor agrees. You would be stuck in a trap.

This is just an advice, and the decision is yours at the end of the day but you must think wisely before taking any steps forward :)

All the Best!!!
