We have an Indian houseboy who has been with us for 4 years now and who we would like to eventually relocate with us to Bahrain. Can anyone advise on what needs to be done to be able to sponsor him and get him into Bahrain? Also does anyone have any idea of the costs and time involved?

Regards.

My maid has a free visa which costs BD600 for 2 years. Not sure of the cost of a sponsored houseboy.

If you work in Bahrain then you can sponsor your houseboy, if you work in Saudi then your company will have to sponsor him.

Call Philip (our clearing agent) on 00973 39682950 and he will email you the costs and procedures.

His email is pru.philip@yahoo.com
