@shahwaz khan

This was possible untill recently, a new law was passed stopping any visit visa to work visa. You may check with with LMRA or any agent here in Bahrain.

You can if the conditions are fulfilled.

The new law has NOT been passed. It is just being brought up for discussion in Parliment. If passed, then it has to go to Shura council and so on. The news on parliment should never be taken as a law being passed. it is just the first step and many things are shot down by Shura council anyway.
