Hi all,

I have 6 month business visa, and want to apply for my Iqama. Do I have to go back to the UK during the application or can I stay in Bahrain?.

Any knowledge on this would be great thanks.

Chris,

You will have to return to UK to file for the work visa.

If the visa is issued to be endorsed from Saudi Embassy in UK, you may need to go back, if from Bahrain you can process this from Bahrain. Some cases you can send the passport to UK and stay in Bahrain till its processed. If you need any assistance with this PM me and I can refer you an excellent agent.
