About Final Exit from Bahrain

Awaiting for the reply from experts....!!

Awaiting for reply.....

I think one will not get any reply unless one send message personally in their account.

Your employer needs to cancel your visa in the system.

No need to surrender CPR or license.

Bank account you also don't need to close. Just take out all of the money and eventually when your visa in their record expires, they will mark the account dormant and then after a while, delete it. To actually close it you need to be there in person.

For SIM, if it's prepaid, don't bother.  It will finish if you don't recharge for a while. For postpaid and contract, you have to physically go with your cpr, settle dues and close. You can try calling them to see if your provider offers an option to close without visit but I doubt it.

Thank you XTang  for your reply....

Will my employer cancel my visa in system if i resigned through mail or through phone call ?  (As I am on vacation and currently at home country and want to resign from home country only)   - i knew it is silly question but want to know general things like in this way may be people resigned in past and have some experience on this.

Because what my employer will do - how can one tell even i am also not knowing it, but will try through mail and tell them to accept my resignation as i don't want to come back and ready to pay till date dues from my side. Hope my employer agree and relieve me.

Any other way to tell about the resignation to employer or any other way to get it accepted ?

Accepting of resignation is up to your employer.  I doubt that they won't accept it....at max they may create issues with your end of service.

OK...Thanks for the information.

Do they check in the airport before you exit if i didn't close/terminate my existing contract in stc?and can i pay them there just in case?thanks

No they don't check.   And it is an issue only if a case has been filed on you and a travel ban issued.

Do one need to keep minimum balance in account or at zero balance too it goes into dormant?

Irrespective of balance, an account that doesn't have any activity, gets marked as dormant after a period of time.

@Llorea hi Llorea, I was wondering about your final exit from Bahrain, did the airport check anything about your stc plan when you were checking out at the immigration? Thank you.

@XTang hi there, sir. So it's valid that the airport won't check any of our simcard plans on their system? Like if we had any issues or unpaid bills,   Thank you.

@XTang thank you for your reply. And I can see on travel ban page if the telecom had been filed on me?

1. You don't need to surrender your CPR

2. It depends on the bank usually they can keep it open even after you exit, you can speak to them and get clarity on this point or give your home country bank account details to your employer and ask them to transfer it directly to it.

3. Once your employer cancels your visa you have 30 grace days to exit the country.

Good luck!

Hi XTANG, I would like to ask if the immigration in Bahrain won't question you if you don't have a valid working permit visa once you exit the country? 

If you have an active contract with a telecom provider it won't be an issue as well even if you will exit with an expired work permit visa, unless there's a case filed against you or you have a travel ban?

If you leave within 30 days of visa expiry or cancellation, no issue.  Otherwise you have to pay an overstay fine before you go to the airport.  Secondly, if no case filed, it is ok.

@XTang appreciate your response. Thank you.

@XTang  hello sir! seems like you got some knowledge about stuffs, my question is will there be an issue if i leave bahrain without letting my dentist know that im leaving, im still under dental treatment but at the same time will be going home soon. will the immigration check about this things?  thanks in advance!

I already answered on your other post.

@XTang much appreciated! ☺️

sir you can exit from the country with out knowing my employer? I have already CPR 

It's always recommended to exit the country legally to avoid any issues in the future.
