Can I Transfer from visit visa, to work visa?
Yes this is possible.
- Please note that Expat should not work or conduct any business in Bahrain without a valid work permit /visa (i.e.: expat cannot start to work for the company while on business or visit visa and until his/her work permit & visa is approved and printed.)
- The company should apply for a normal work visa while the visit visa is still valid (At least for 7 days) – If visit visa has expired or nearly expired, the company must extended it first before applying for the work visa. (Note that people, who have been on a business or visit visa for 30 days or more, must travel out of the country before their application for a work visa can be submitted.)
