Expired Employment Visa in Bahrain?

Expert Info

on 26 Sep 2016

Does anybody here also has an expired visa? I was working on my previous company who failed to renew my working visa, now that I found a new company they cannot process a new visa for me because Im not sure if its the immigration or lmra that is rejecting my visa application. The lmra informed my new sponsor that my previous employer has to pay 1,000BD for the penalty of letting me work while my visa is expired. Is there any chance that I can work again? and will be the procedures to follow to solve my case? please give me some info about this. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Mam, Good morning! Currently I'm working in a company,I joined 1 & half months ago while I still had a valid employment visa of 1 month. Since i joined here I'm appealing them for my visa & they kept telling me that not to worry. Now today they are saying me that your visa can't be applied as it expired 15 days back. Ask your previous company to give us blue form when my previous company has already advised to apply visa while it's still valid. I'm really very worried. Plz suggest what shall I do in this case. Thank you. Regards,

I applied for Bahrain employment Visa by my employer for the first time. Whenever I check the Visa status it shows expired employment Visa.what does it mean??

How long ago did you apply, and have you held a Bahrain work visa before? If not, it sounds like there may be an error. I'd recommend getting in contact with the embassy or consulate you applied with.

Hi, I almost have similar situation. In my case, I resigned on 05th Jan 2023 and my last day is supposed to be on 02nd Feb 2023. However, there was a delay on my joining date outside Bahrain so my current company allowed me to work for them until end of March. However, my visa will be expired on 06th March 2023. Am I still allowed to work for them legally with expired visa using the 30 days Grace period?

Anyone here who had the same issue?
