lost old passport; new passpsort number update on current work visa

Hi,


I got my 2 yr work visa from bahrain in may 2022. in march 2023 i went to india and lost passport.Then i reissued my passport with new number. My company arranged visit visa for me and i got back to bahrain in april 2023. Then mY HR applied for transfer of work permit from old passport to new passport but its been 16 days and no updates. I asked my HR and she said that my application is under security check . Its already been 16 days . How much time will it take ?

If it's under process then all you can do is wait. No one can tell how long. Hiwp

HR said it’s under security check

does NPRA conducts security check ??

Yes they do via CID

@XTang  Can u tell me how much time it takes on an average ? Its already been 2 weeks and its under security check .

No fixed time. Can vary. Sometimes months. Just wait.

@XTang my visit visa stay will be expired on 15 may. How much time will it take to get the visit visa extended ?

A few days if eligible.

@XTang have u seen any Case where the person lost his /her passport in another country then travelled on visit visa to Bahrain ? Now we are trying to transfer the valid work visa from old passport to new passport.

it’s been 2 weeks now and it’s under immigration the PRO said . Usually how much time it takes for such transfer ?

You have already gotten the answer.  Stop asking the same thing again and again.  Every case is different and some can take up to months.  So just wait.  There is nothing else you can do.

@XTang Got my work permit updated exactly after 21 days

Good. As I said, patience is the key here.
