What is the mechanism for bringing in expatraite employees from abroad?
Based on the decision of the Coordination Committee headed by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander, and Prime Minister, if you apply an application for a new work permit for a worker outside the Kingdom of Bahrain the following will be applied:
- Postponement of approval of the application for a period of 21 days, and the requested work permit application will be processed automatically after the end of this specified period.
- Posting an advertisement for job vacancies in the local newspapers for a period of 7 days. The cost of the advertisements will be 30 dinars for each application and will be added to the monthly invoice of the cr.
If you applied for a new work permit for an expatriate residing in the Kingdom of Bahrain, then the regular procedures will be applied.
