Post new topic

dextertibayan18

Hi,i have a case in bahrain before year 2017,but i dont know whats the case my sponsor filed for me,back then,the case was already dissmissed and the police said i am already cleared,then they release me,but after a day the police summon me again saying that my sponsor cancelled the sponsorship,so i go to the court,prosecutor expaining that the sponsor cancelled my visa and prosecutor ask me if i want to find another sponsor but i will stay in jail while looking for new sponsor or i will go home,so i decided to choose to going home because i dont know how to find a sponsor if i am in jail,and now almost 3years past and i decided to comeback to bahrain,my question is,can i comeback in bahrain without any problem?because when we check to immigration it appears that i have police blacklist,can someone tell me whats the meaning of that?thank you

Means that you had a criminal case against you.  If that is the situation then you are blacklisted and can't come to Bahrain.

Hi good day Mr XTang..!!!

i really need an advice because i really want to go back in bahrain,i was there last 2011-2015 but i found out that my friend she stop paying the phone and wifi she ask me to get an installment for her using my CPR because her position in her job cant get that installment in viva,my question is if that possible i have a debt in that ViVa company because my friend using my cpr to get her that? can i still travel to bahrain or no? thank you for the advice in advance..thank you and God bless..
XTang
Did she continue paying or not?   debt is not an issue - not paying for it is an issue as then, a case gets filed.  Check on that first and don't get products or services for other people using your CPR in the future.
yvonnecate0314
she never pay it anymore when i come to my country thats my problem now,is that possible i cant travel again to bahrain? thank you for your answer..
XTang
Enter yes, leave no...........if travel ban has been applied.

Depends on what you were deported for.   In a lot of cases, you are pretty much banned.

Dear sir,

This is to kind inform you that i m blacklist from Bahrain since 2010. But the court have not blacklisted me. Only from immigration. There was a fraud case on my name and i finished my 1 year sentence in bahrain prison. After i was free to work in Bahrain but i told to police that i want to go to Pakistan. They send me Pakistan and blacklisted me.


Sir how can i finish this blacklist now its almost 5 years

Plz help.

XTang
Read the replies above. It can be a permanent ban.

Bro lemme use Dubai as a case study cos have lived there b4, when you have a case like this and the immigration snaps you with digital camera while leaving it means ban but if you leave without any immigration issue , can always reapply to come back

Don't compare UAE with Bahrain.  It is a different country. 

UAE enforce ban with eye scan (it is NOT a photo as you think).  Bahrain doesn't use eye scans and the bans are on the basis of identity as well as fingerprints (taken at the time of entry into the country for enrollment).

So your advice is incorrect for Bahrain.

Hi.. I worked in Bahrain from 2012 to 2016. I left Bahrain after a dispute with my employer, however without cancelling my visa. The company filed a complaint against me and the court ruled against me for 1 year with deportation. While i was on Oman from 2016 to 2021 inter pole (GCC interconnected system) caught me a transferred me to Bahrain. I stayed in jail for 8 months plus one month in Oman. While my appeal was still not decided the authorities released me around 2 months earlier with deportation.


I traveled back to my country while after a month the court decided the appeal in my favor and i won the case. After a couple of months now when i tried to apply for Saudi visa, it was returned saying that i have been blacklisted in GCC. Which means when they deported me they blacklisted me from whole GCC. Now when i have won the case can i remove this ban and if yes what is the process ?

XTang

There is no specific process and these blacklists are very difficult to get out of.  You can engage a lawyer and have him follow up with immigration in the respective country to try to get a visa.  But it will incur a lot of cost and the outcome isn't certain.


And this is exactly why I always tell people to resolve disputes with their employer prior to leaving.

@XTang hi how are you I want to check I’m black list in Bahrain for what and how many days thay block me

logicalindian

https://services.bahrain.bh/wps/portal/ … BIS9nQSEh/ you can check here, these are mainly travel ban rated. You can also be blacklisted for various reasons but it may not show up here, one way to find out is to apply a visa and check. If the visa gets rejected your potential employer can find out the reason.


Black list is usually permanent.

XTang

The above is for court ordered issues.  Immigration black list is separate.  You will know if your visa keeps getting rejected.  And time depends on reason - in most cases, it is permanent.

Leader Godsin

Leader Godsin

@XTang  how much time

logicalindian

@Imran Khan31 how much time for? Your question is not xle

kathyteren

@XTang if visa is approved does it mean that you are not blocklisted?

XTang

Practically yes BUT, if you have changed passport or name or did anything similar to get that visa (bypassing previous record on blacklist)............on entry, after fingerprints, you will be denied entry.

diamondspattranitpat

I have blacklist in Bahrain 2019 so now I live in Georgia I have plans to Bahrain next month but not sure I can get in or not but I worry they will send me back to my country (Asia) or I can come back to Geogia I buy tickets round trip I have id card Geogia

logicalindian

In most cases blacklist is permanent ban, you can try applying for a visa and find out. Better to use evisa option.

Ali shavez

@XTang tell me ali name people not allow to come in bahrian full name ali shavez guide me

logicalindian

No one can really tell, please try to apply for the visa and check.

Please someone should help me I was deported from Bahrain because of visa issues but I want to came back I try to check and see if i have any travel band but when I check on travel band enquiry online it shows me that I don have any issue preventing me from traveling please can someone here help me to check. And if they is travel band can someone help me to removed it

logicalindian

If you were deported then most likely you will not get a visa into Bahrain, but you can try to apply and check.

XTang

Deportation leads to an immigration ban and NOT a travel ban.  So you cannot see it onliny.  Only way you will know is if you apply and your visa gets rejected.  There is no removing it in 99.9% of the cases.

Babadesmond131

So please can I have someone who can help me to removed the ban they really make it difficult for me

XTang

There is no source - "sources" as you call it are personal contacts or friends who can help depending if there is a legal way to sort it and it just requires to approach a decision maker.   Any of my personal contacts, if I refer someone to them, will ask, who is this person and how close are they to you?.  If it is not my family member or someone very close to me, they will just pass you onto the normal process and nothing will be done. No one will stick their neck out for a stranger especially when it comes to bans or deportations which is a legal issue.  So try to understand that simple logic.


Try to find an agent who can follow up on your behalf to see what can be done.   They are not "sources" as you call it but people who can tell you if anything is possible or not.  And as I have already said, there is very little chance of getting a visa again after being deported.   To even have a chance, you need access to highly placed people who can take decisions.  If you don't have that access, forget about it.  And as I explained, don't ask people you don't know to provide you that access - at that senior level, no one is going to vouch for a stranger by passing on their access.

Good day everyone just  I want to ask something I'm currently in my country now ,I was in Bahrain 3 months ago ,I had a case in Bahrain and i fix it in court before i left,my question is if ever i want comeback it is possible to return in Bahrain without any prblm? Please anyone can give me idea

logicalindian

The approval of a visa can vary depending on the severity of the crime; therefore, one must apply for a visa and await the decision. It is impossible to predict with certainty whether the visa will be granted.

kiedally21

Is all criminal case considered blacklisted? And is runaway also considered?

XTang

Yes.  Runaway can be time bound but criminal case is usually permanent ban.

How can someone with a tourist visa check if he or she is banned from entering Bahrain. Everyone that i asked is requesting that i send in my CPR number and i don't have it because I visited bahrain with a tourist visa.
