Dear mukul1425,

It would be really difficult for someone to give an exact time frame on how long will it take to issue the visa, it depends on a lot of factors. Keep in touch with your potential employer and i hope that you will get your visa very soon

Keep your hopes high!

You must be anxious to get to Bahrain :P

Short answer to your question - it can take anything from a few hours to several months depending on your employer and their ability and need of your services.

This is a topic that has been beaten to death in the recent past. Please take a look at the following links:

Then I am sorry to say that your application has not been made.

The website is www.lmra.bh and if a proper application had been made you will be able to check the status of your application by entering your passport number.

Please check with your prospective employer. There must be some administrative delay.

All I can advise you is to wait ... patiently! Thats a quality you have to learn my friend. Patience, patience, patience. Best wishes.

dear mukul1425,

there may be several reasons for the application not showing up, be patient meanwhile I would also recommend you to contact your potential employer and find out the application number and try with that once.

hopefully everything will be ok! good luck!

Patience.

Patience.

Patience.

If you don't have that, its going to be difficult.

If work visas of medical professionals can take 8 months, yours may take forever. Be patient sir.
