Data Cleansing Project
LMRA is facilitating all its services for both public and private sectors, which will start in July 2008. In order to get the maximum benefits of our services, all institutions and organisations should continuously update its foreign employees’ data on our database. All companies should insure that the registration data exactly coincide with the formal registrations in other relevant authorities. Note that the calculation of monthly fees depends on such data. Therefore, LMRA emphasises the importance of the presentation of correct information about foreign labour. The accuracy and correctness of bills issued by LMRA depend upon adherence to such instructions. To ensure the correctness of data and fees calculations, institutions and organisations are advised to follow the following data cleansing procedures:
Firstly: Registration
Registration procedure is the step where Public and Private sector institutions register their data at the LMRA, to ease the procedures of issuing and renewing work permits and all other related transactions. For more information please visit the Public and Private sectors registration procedures page.
Secondly: Data Cleansing (Public and Private Sector)
After the completion of the registration process, LMRA will provide each company with a password. Each company will be able to verify the correctness of the foreign employeess’ data by accessing the Expat Management System (EMS) through the LMRA website (www.lmra.bh). If the information is incorrect, do as following:
- Report to the General Directorate of Nationality, Passports & Residence (GDNPR) to correct foreign employees’ data related to passport details.
- Check the data on the LMRA website after two weeks from reporting to the General Directorate of Nationality, Passports & Residence (GDNPR).
Documents required from each company or corporation
- The most recent copy of the foreign employee’s passport and family members, joining him / her (attached to his / her passport).
- The most recent copy of the foreign employee’s CPR card and the family mambers joining him (Back & Front).
- The most recent Residence Permit (RP) of the foreign employee and dependants joining him.
- In case of attached children on parent’s passport, a copy of the relevant page of mother’s or father’s passport should be presented.
- A copy of the pages containing the name of the father or spouse (For Indian and Pakistani Nationals only).
Note:
To facilitate issue of residence visas of foreign employees’ children, during the launch of LMRA services on July 2008, it is requested to inform the foreign employees to do the following:
- Issue a separate passport for each dependant.
- Dependant exceeding 18 years shall be granted residence visas in case they join a recognised university in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and applications should be presented directly to the General Directorate of Nationality, Passports & Residence (GDNPR)
