1) No your employer has to do it. You need to go to resign in writing and send it via registered mail while retaining pink slip. Then go to LMRA and register intent to transfer. But LMRA will tell you that employer needs to cancel and they will ask them to. Worst case, file a case at Ministry of labor
2) No
3) No visa can be done while remaining in Bahrain
4) No. You must be on their visa to start work
5) Read the threads in this forum. We have discussed this topic many times before
