Want my family to live in Bahrain

Hi Everyone,

I am a Geologist from Ghana working with a mine in Saudi Arabia. I have an engineering IQAMA, my family also have IQAMA and we live in Jeddah. I want my family to move from SA to go live in Bahrain so I can visit them anytime I'm off duty. I have multiple re-entry for myself and family. What documents do I need to do the following please

1. Get an apartment for my family
2. Get a residence permit
3. Get a Bahrain multiple exit re-entry to allow me easy access
4. Does anyone have a reliable visa agent/agents' phone number I can contact

I will appreciate your answers a lot to help me take a decision as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

I am from India working in Dammam , living with my family in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia since May 2015 . We got our children admission at IIS,D , however they are finding it difficult to adjust to the ways here , I have been thinking about ways for my family to move and go to live in Bahrain  (we often travel on weekends to Bahrain , which they liked comparatively ) . We have multiple re-entry/exit KSA Visa  for myself and family (renewable every 06 months ) .
Believe many Indian expats have family  living in Bahrain and for work travel daily to KSA via the causeway , Luckily my job doesn't require me to go to office every day ( I travel across GCC and many a times use work from home option too ) , and so daily travel across the causeway is not an issue .
Can the learned expat members help me with following questions ( might be repetitive , however having gone through several links here haven't quite been able to get all the answers at one place  )

1.Any suggestions , if now ( mid session ) admissions to a CBSE school is possible ( my Daughter is in 10th & Son in the 05th Standard presently )
2.Typical cost & formalities to get an apartment for my family (semi / unfurnished 2BHK house in a safe middle class area / compound which has Indian expats ) (Will 300-400BD  / Month be O.K  or suggest a range )
3. Bahrain residence permit
4. Bahrain multiple exit re-entry to allow me easy access to Saudi
5. Can anyone suggest a reliable  agent / agents' phone number I can contact & the typical cost for this + an idea about the time it takes .

I will appreciate your answers to help me take a decision as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

In Gratitude ,

Mayank
