FAQs :
I am already a resident in Bahrain, is there a way to check on my visa and/ or my family visa? And how can I stay informed of any changes in my status at LMRA?
LMRA provides multiple channels through which you can check your visa status.

You can use either of these channels :
The expat portal : you can login to the expat portal to see your details, visa status and expiry date, details of your dependants etc

Also, LMRA will be sending you important updates and notifications, and for this you need to update, in the expat portal, your e-mail address, mobile and telephone numbers in Bahrain and in your home country, so that we can send you important updates and notifications.

SMS service : you can also send an SMS service to LMRA to check your legal status in Bahrain. Please check SMS Service for more information about how to use the SMS service.

How do we apply for a family visa for a child born in Bahrain?
After obtaining a new passport for the child, you need to update his details (and open a file) in NPRA, then apply for the child’s family visa through LMRA. You must enter the correct CPR number on the application (the CPR number is printed on the birth certificate issued in Bahrain).

Can wives sponsor their husbands as their direct dependants if the wife is a female expat employee working in Bahrain, or a Bahraini female married to an expat?
Unfortunately, this is not possible, female expat employees as well as Bahraini females married to non-GCC Nationals cannot sponsor their husbands on a “dependant” visa. The husbands’ applications must be submitted through the employer as a normal “work permit”.

What can I do if my employer had cancelled my visa while I was on holiday out of Bahrain? Is this legal?
According to “The Labour Law for the Private Sector, 1976 Promulgated by AMIRI decree no. 23 OF 1976” Articles 106 to 119, it is illegal to terminate an employee’s contract (and subsequently his work permit) while he is on leave.
