Golden Residence Visa - Is it worth it

mdaasif · 2022-02-13T14:11:10+01:00

Hi, I am currently working in Bahrain and am eligible for newly announced Bahrain Golden residency visa as am employed (private sector) in Bahrain for more than 5 years and have my basic salary above the threshold. I have also received a message from NPRA that I am eligible to apply ( not sure whether NPRA is sending this message to all expats or only to shortlisted ones. Will be good to hear from you all on this). I was wondering whether its worth applying for this visa, and if I apply for this visa then will I still be under the sponsorship of my employer or not. Will be good to hear any thoughts and whether anyone has applied for the same so far. Thanks in advance.

Hello!

I have a question about the health insurance certificate that is mandatory to apply for a Golden visa. How is it possible to subscibe to an insurance while living outside of the country?

I would like to try to apply as a highly talented individual (Artist) and I am currently based in UAE.

Google for health insurance providers in Bahrain, email them about your requirement. I'm sure if any one else knows more they will reply.

Good luck

Most providers now offer a standard 2 year policy for these visas. This can be issued against your passport in the beginning.
