I'm a Filipino citizen having a working permit and supposed to go to Bahrain last March 2020. However, it was postponed due to Covid-19 Pandemic. I'd like to ask if the news related to extending validity of visa in Bahrain applies to my working permit. If so, when will be the expiration date of my working permit?

As far as I know, your employer would need to re-apply.

As long as its cancelled in the system, stamp doesn't matter. At airport, they will check in system and won't look for stamp.
