Bahrain has recently unveiled an innovative system designed to streamline the process of renewing visas for expatriates, even when they are residing outside the country.
This groundbreaking development was announced by Sheikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa, the Undersecretary for Nationality, Passports, and Residence Affairs (NPRA) at the Interior Ministry.
Bahrain Online Visa Renewal for Expatriates Abroad
The new system allows employers to renew the visas of their employees online through the Bahrain national portal. The employer will need to provide the employee’s passport number, visa number, and the duration of the visa renewal.
The fee for the visa renewal can be paid online using a credit card or debit card.
The new system is available to expatriates working in the commercial and government sectors, as well as registered workers and domestic employees. The service is available for all types of visas, including work visas, residence visas, and dependent visas.
Benefits of the New System
The new system has several benefits for expatriates, employers, and the government of Bahrain.
1. For expatriates, the new system makes it easier to renew their visas without having to travel to Bahrain. This can save them time and money.
2. For employers, the new system makes it easier to manage the visa renewal process for their employees. This can free up their time to focus on other business matters.
3. For the government of Bahrain, the new system can help attract more investment to the country by making it easier for expatriates to stay in Bahrain.
Collaboration for Streamlined Service
This special system to renew visas for expatriates outside Bahrain is a collaborative effort between the Bahrain Passport and Residency Affairs and the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA).
It caters to expatriates working in both commercial and government sectors, as well as registered workers and domestic employees.
To access this service, individuals can utilize the Bahrain national portal, renew their work permits through the expatriate management system, or use official LMRA channels.
Conclusion
