Hi, everyone. Warm greetings. I would like to enquire about the family visa. As my current company is not providing family visa and I need to bring my family back to Bahrain. I am tired of undefined and unuseful suggestions. What is the alternate source so that I can bring my family back. And also my wife can do job without any problems. I mean it should be legally abide. I am not ready to go for agencies as they are charging very high for the free visa. Approximately BD 900 they would like to charge me for my wife and one kid. Kindly give genuine suggestions if you may have any. Thanks for your kind patience for reading my message. Have a great weekend.

1) Ask your company to provide dependent visa and you cover the costs. Easiest and cheapest option

2) Set up a company and get them investor visas

3) Buy a property and get self sponsorship visas

Keep in mind that she CANNOT work on any of these visas for whichever employer she wants to. For that she needs a work visa provided by the company she is going to work for.

Secondly, these "free visas" are ILLEGAL. If there is a crackdown, which happens from time to time, and she is caught, it means deportation and a ban.
