Post new topic

Hello everyone

I'd Like to know,do visa applications for work are being rejected if its a Iranian passport?

I don't know however based on what I have heard; yes.  Iranian, Lebanese, Iraqi and Syrian passports seem to have most problems with automatic rejections in quite a few cases.  At least for those people who are moving to Bahrain from outside the middle east. 

I have neither and had a Shia sounding name; went through 7 rejections....so you can imagine :)

I think this is indeed the case. Unless the person already lives and works in another GCC country, it is almost impossible to get a new work visa if the applicant is from one of the countries XTang has mentioned.
