Hi guys, just wanted to ask, If it is true that there is a new loan procedure for EXPATS whereas if you have an ongoing loan or plan to leave for good. You have to submit a letter to LMRA stating that you are coming back and should have a valid visa. How true is this is this a proposal or has it been implemented yet? specially right now where the situation in Bahrain for Expats is unstable.

So far nothing has been rolled out.   And as far as loans are concerned, it will be between CBB and the retail banks - LMRA has nothing to do with it.

something like that proposal came to parliament, but after no news whether t approved or Not

XTang

Look, many proposals come to parliament but even if they approve, the Shura council i.e. Government has to approve.    And that doesn't always happen.  For example, during Covid, they approved a lock down which was never approved or implemented by the Government.  Similarly, in the past, there was a proposal for restricting driving licences for expats and nothing happened.  I wouldn't worry until it makes it to implementation.

You keep posting for a reference for a loan.  Go to a bank.   Private money lending is illegal (And potentially dangerous) in Bahrain.  Giving a reference towards such activities is also against the forum rules.

hi bro, i have a bad credit report, but I want a personal loan from the bank. How can I obtain a loan from the bank? please advise

Try your luck.  If they don't give you a loan then improve your credit score over a period of time.  No other way.
