dear salam_d,

for renewal of visa your wife needs to be here, once the visa expires i believe you cannot renew it you need to apply for a new one. Your company will give you better information regarding the same.

good luck!

Arjun. Thank you for your kind reply.

Let me know, is there any automatic cancellation after a specific period (I mean not after 2 yr) something like "Automatic visa cancellation of UAE Visa if 6 months outside UAE"

It's not like Saudi Arabia , but when you have a valid visa , I guess it doesn't matter for how long you are out of Bahrain !

If the visa get's expired , that is a big issue !

gunner is right - your wife can return to Bahrain after a long stay outside the country, as long as the visa remains valid. There is no concept of automatic cancellation of visa for long stays outside Bahrain.

If the visa expires, then a new visa has to be applied for and obtained before she can return to Bahrain.
