How long will take for an employer to cancell Bahrain work visa ,if the employee out side the Bahrain??? Help me

In the ems system, it literally takes a few minutes to an hour.

Rajeev rajeev

Thanx for u r quick response .I already leave the country ,they told me that they will cancel my visa after leaving Bahrain but still lmra record shows VALID EMPLOYMENT VISA.I have an another job offer from Bahrain, :(

So that means they haven't cancelled it. Chase them.

I cant signed termination letter if its must for my old emplyer to terminating work visa???. What are the process terminating/cancelling a work visa????  Help me

Rajeev rajeev

I already leaved from bahrain with thepermission of my employer

Try to read what I wrote instead of making multiple posts and sending private messages.  Show some courtesy.

And understand the basic facts:

1) YOUR employer MUST cancel the visa
2) You, yourself, while not being in Bahrain, CANNOT do anything immediately except let the visa expire OR engage a lawyer / PRO to go to LMRA to register the fact that you resigned and left so that the employer can't file an absconding case on you and get you banned.  Even then, LMRA will not  cancel the visa but will ask the employer to cancel it - they will only give you mobility without consent if you have worked for the employer for more than one year

The process is simple i.e. employer logs into EMS and clicks on cancel permit, fills out the fields, attaches termination letter or even an email from employee of his acceptance and clicks on submit.  The cancellation is processed in max a few hours.

Sorry. Firsrtly i never resigned through  a mail or written 😒

XTang

Irrelevant. As I said before, your employer needs to cancel. There are many ways to do that and they would know how to.  Follow up with them.

Thanks  for your replys and forgive for disturbing via inbox. All will be ok as soon as possible. 🙄

Hello. I'm recently here in Bahrain, I resigned for my work and want to go back to my country but my passport was held by my previous employer and he didn't want to cancel my visa. What can I do, how can I go home when I was in need of my family?

Sure, you can ask your potential employer to apply for the visa again.

@sahir khan16

If the work permit has already been completed 6 months after the issue date. It is automatically cancelled and you can ask the new employer to apply for the work permit again. Just send the old work permit to the new employer to ensure that the CPR number is reflected when they enter your passport or the application will be stuck when 2 CPR number will be issued.

An employer can cancel the visa without the need for an employee to travel back to his home country to change the company.

As per law you don't need to pay anything

veeraj.john

@Umair Malik9 You dont have to pay anything to the employer. The employer gets the balance money refunded when the visa is cancelled/transferred to another employee.
