The only possible way is to extend the visit Visa first through any document clearing agency or self if you applied for the visit visa through evisa portal.

As your visa is expired on April 2021 you need to pay 5*30 BHD = 150 BHD just the visa fees and agent fees if you are not able to clear it yourself. You need to pay the agent fees which depends upon your offence in NPRA.

You will not be able to exit Bahrain or transfer to any kind of visa without extending the visit visa.

Try to renew your visa yourself.

bahrain.bh
Type Visa services and click search

Select the option Visa services in the results.

Click Requests and Visa Management

Then fill in your details and see whether you are able to renew the visit visa yourself or contact any document clearing agency.

The Document Clearance agent is correct they will give the extension for a maximum 1 - 3 days. The best way is to exit Bahrain and apply a work permit out of Bahrain.
