Housemaid visa cost

Zazuuuuu

Need a nanny but have to get her a visa. She's in bahrain already but is it more expensive if her visa is cancelled? Does anyone know how much it costs to get her a new visa? I know if it can be transferred its a lot cheaper but someone said its 1500bd to restart the process with a new visa for her

It should be the same cost for the visa.  You can look at the visa fees on the LMRA website.  You have to pay a refundable deposit of 500 BD in both options.

@XTang oh wow 500??? And when would they refund that?! Do you know how long it takes to get a visa? My employer made my application a week ago but can it take up to 4 weeks?

When visa is cancelled and maid leaves.
