Ma Jjj

Hello xtang.. Please I have a worry, my formal employer stopped me from working a d canceled my working working visa and now I want to exit Bahrain, what do I need to do?

Muhammad Bhatti

@Ma Jjj if he cancelled within 1 month then you are good to exit Bahrain won't be any problem but if it's more than a month then ypu would need to pay the fine and then you can exit.

XTang

As above.

@gilbinorabino Hi marteena,

Due to my present employer's failure to submit an application for me despite his assurances that he would, my visa has been revoked for three months. When I stopped reporting for duty, they abruptly fired me.

My inquiry is: Can I handle my own extension in LMRA, or do I need to get in touch with the person who terminated my visa? I intend to be married in February in order to obtain a dependant visa. I'm anxious that I don't have a visa, therefore I hope you can respond.

logicalindian

You can approach LMRA for the extension.

Its hard to tell, there may be many reasons. You need to speak to your employer and find out.

XTang

They won't tell you.

@XTang hi .. employer not renewed my working visa for last 4 month...my visa status not valid....HR told me,will renew as soon as possible... How can I go my home country(exit)...any possibility to get my bending salary and settlement money...plz advice me... thanks in advance...

XTang

You are here illegally.   


File a case with Ministry of labor. 


You won't be able to leave without paying fines for overstay or winning the case against your employer.

Meeran Nagoor

@XTang thankyou... I got new job here in Bahrain..transfer possible?

logicalindian

No you cannot transfer.

Haani Zubair

24 days after lmra sent me msg your application is sent back any body tell me what a reason i cnt the employer he tell me i paid all the fee how many time we wait visa vaild Green

XTang

No one can tell you what the reason was.  Ask your employer why the application was sent back.

Visit the police station with the proof and ask them the next step to release him or consult a lawyer if the case is already registered

Hi,


If anybody can help. My work Visa expired on 10th of April and my new company asked my previous employer to cancel my visa on 15th April. My Visa is cancelled and my current status shows as Employment Visa is not Valid.


As per the expiry date my grace period ends tomorrow, as my new company is facing some violation, they were unable to file the extension till today.


I wanted to know if the 30 days grace period will be counted from the date of expiry or cancellation.


As per the employer once the violation is removed they will first get an extension and then process the visa.


Is there any way where I can apply for an extension myself?

My brother was arrested and detained for invalid employment visa what can i do to get him out and also is it poss to visit him with food

XTang

He will be released after court judgement, probably for deportation back to home country.  On the food thing, you need to check with the supervisors of the facility where he is being held.  In some they allow bringing in outside food, in most they don't.   Visitation hours are also limited and generally only on a few days of the week.

@XTang

Hello , my visa status was showing expired and i wanted to cancel it , so i went to lmra they told me to apply online with a travel ticket, so i did that after 2 days now it is showing employment visa not valid, so is it cancelled or what ? Idk please tell me what this means actually.

And in this situation can my new employer apply for my visa directly without asking mobility?

XTang

No work visa exists.

Rehan@12

@XTang

I didn't understand what u said , please tell me what is it about my situation of visa and can my New employer apply for visa directly now .

XTang

I said that this message means that no work visa exists for you.  You are without any sort of visa so a new one can be applied for you.

Rehan@12

@XTang

And as my visa is not valid, my old employer cannot file a runway case on me right?

Because she was threatening me for it .

logicalindian

Once the visa is cancelled they cannot

UlrickVon

Good day, my visa is not valid , i just check it today, my employer taken my passport and said he needs it to fix my visa. My visa was in grace period in September and was expired during october now it was in a "visa not valid" state. My employer told me this upcoming sunday i need to sign something. Should i worry and seek help to LMRA, i dont know what to do.

logicalindian

Remember if your caught by LMRA at this time you may be deported, your employer will also be fined. Also, to apply for a visa he does not need your passport, sounds fishy.
