Be patient. My visa took a month. Apparently there was a backlog. Just check regularly with them. As our fellow expats have advised, things happen alot slower in Bahrain.

Hi,

if your on visit you can extend your visa by visiting NPRA http://www.npra.gov.bh/en/contact-us/map-access/

as DebbieT1 mentioned be patient, we have seen cases where it has gone to over 2 months as well. (depends on the relationship between the visa issues authority and your potential employer)
