Work/Visit Visa - Query

Hello,

First of all, thanks to all contributors on this forum since I have learnt a lot about my upcoming move to Bahrain through navigating around various topics here.

I will be shortly moving to Bahrain in February 2021 for employment purposes with a reputed international organization. My employer had filed for a work visa and successfully got it processed but there were some problems with the personal details filled out so they had filed for a correction request in early January 2021. However, three weeks on, there hasn't been a positive response from the Ministry. Now in the interest of time, my employer has advised me to move in to the country on a Visit visa and they would file for a fresh work visa and subsequently Family Visa (for my spouse) once I have arrived in the country.

The employer is reliable enough in my interactions so far with them and I am well aware that they have tried everything possible to get my work visa in place for a smooth immigration experience.

My query - would it be legal for me to work on a Visit Visa while awaiting my work visa? Are there any actual instances where people have been deported/actioned upon while working on a visit visa?

Is there any reliable immigration consultant available on this forum who can guide me with this process.

Appreciate all forum members' inputs on this. Thank you.
