Hi All, I am Harinkumar, an Indian working in Bahrain. I went on vacation on 27th of Feb and due to the lockdown in India unable to travel back to Bahrain. My employment visa expires on 07th of April and I wont he back in time as travel ban is valid until 14th of April. Is there anyone who is facing similar crisis and how can we get an extension so that I can fly back once the travel ban is lifted ?

Please advise.

There is no clear instruction from the officials as of yet on the relaxation of rules, please speak to your company and ask them to approach LMRA to find out what are the possible options to renew the visa
