Family Member work status- Self sponsorship retirement visa

kmurali1954

Hi !

I have a Self Sponsorship retirement Visa  which does not allow taking up employment.

I now want to add My wife for family  visa. My wife is currently working in bahrain. My question is as follows:


  1. If I transfer her Residence Permit ( which is currently linked to her work permit / work sponsor)  can she still continue to work  ? i.e  take up employment?
  2. How to go about adding her name to family visa under me?


Will appreciate any clear reply / Thks / 25-07-2025

She cannot work on a self sponsorship visa.  This is how the SS visa is defined as.   


There is no transfer.  You apply for a SS visa and when approved, you cancel her existing one and new one is issued.
