Harshad80

Hi,


Heard new rules converting visit visas to work permit visa in bahrain which is not possible without sponsor.

does it has any impact on housemaid visas since it is not LMRA visa, is there any issues to transfer house maid visa to work visa?


thanks

Did not hear any offical release regarding this, it should be the same process as earlier.

The announcement was only a few days ago.  So clarity is still needed.

thanks for the feedback.

secondly i wanted know if housemaid visa is LMRA visa or NPRA??

LMRA.


However, I think you are confusing different things.  The JOB regulation is through LMRA but NPRA issues ALL visas.  So this decision will apply to ALL visas irrespective of whether these were directly through NPRA or through LMRA.

such a clarity and very clear now.
