The part about mobility without consent.

Thanks for sharing, can you let me know which LMRA office branch i should visit ?

Read the link first and you will get the answer.

Yes I have red the full info.

Now my doubt is , here in Bahrain which LMRA branch deal with this case , I believe all Lmra branch won’t deal this kind of issue , if you could let me know the specific branch , it would have been much time consuming for me

You did not read it.  If you did, it clearly explains how to get mobility or transfer without consent of the employer.  Forget the irrelevant question about the branch. Do the resignation per process and then worry about branch. And this only works if you have completed 1 year with current employer.

This portion below:

If employer is not allowing you to leave: Resign via registered mail and retain the pink slip.  Go to LMRA and get mobility without consent if you have worked with the current employer for more than 1 year.  If less than one year, you can still use this notice to push for visa cancellation through coordination with LMRA and MOL.
Some examples/cases:

Mobility without consent process: https://lmra.bh/portal/en/page/show/194

Yes I got what your saying..


For your kind info I have worked with the company for 2 and half years, and submitted resignation and got the pink slip, so all the requirements are met , but current employer requesting NOC and a open mobility.. that is what confusing me , as I have submitted the pink slip and resignation receipt already to my current employer, he still insisting for NOC and mobility from my previous company.

That is an issue with your new employer.  Noc is not needed. Mobility can be without consent.  Either they don't understand the process or have stupid internal policies. You have to convince them to go for mobility without consent. There is no other way.  Lmra won't help you without new employer on your side.

I have the offer letter of new company  , and the pink slip, also resignation is in my email as well, if I got direct to LMRA office with all these ,  will I get open mobility?

No.  There is no such thing as open mobility first of all.  There is mobility with or without consent.   You can only get mobility without consent.  And as I said, lmra won't transfer you without your new employer applying for you.

Did you get issue sorted?

LMRA told if you have employer visa issues like cancellation of visa application, go to LMRA sitra, even though you they have flexi only office, there is a small back office to help with these queries. One can check there if they can help, but need to take appointment, if no help then again visit another LMRA branch.

Hi guys,want to ask something my visa was applied 1month ago it is in progress but until now its not out what could be the cause??

Just wait. It happens

Hi everyone,am currently in kenya but was in Bahrain like 1 year & half ago,wanted to go back to Bahrain bcz l find anew job,but my Visa expired while in the progress & l found out that l had a case for Stc WiFi l never canceled the contract for it l owe them 708bd what can l do to remove the case & to solve the problem??please help

Pay off or settle the claim with STC directly.  And then have them remove the case.

If l pay the stc & settle the case can l come back to Bahrain immediately or l have to wait for some months?

Contact collection company before you arrive and make sure they remove the case after your payment.

Hi everyone,can the stc accept me to pay 300bd in cash then they lift the case after l start working will be paying like 50bd every month until l settle there bill??

Talk to them.  No one here can tell you. 

@XTang Good evening sir, been working for 1 year and 8 months in my current employer  but since  my visa expired already 2 months ago and still working for her trying to wait until she would renew it again,Im planning to find new  job that employer will apply a working visa. Just wanted to ask if I can leave directly if I found one or do I  still need to pass a resignation and wait for 1 month as notice period?please enlighten  me.TIA
