Self Sponsorship Visa/Residence Permit

Leave 30 days after cancellation. Or go to lmra to extend grace period which they can do up to a maximum of 90 days.

The self sponsorship visa, before covid, would easily take anywhere from 3-5 months. I would imagine that it's taking longer now.

Thanks XTang for your quick reply. Appreciate it. Do I have to fill up any form and take it to LMRA? Also which section in LMRA? Do they give 90 days in one go?
Many thanks in advance for your helpful reply.

It's the extension of grace period form.  And they usually only do 30 days at a time.

Great! Will enquire from LMRA.
Many thanks again XTang for your wonderfully fast response.

Can I submit the form to LMRA for 30 days extension or do I have go through my ex employer? If the answer is ex employer what if the exemployer does not cooperate? Thanks a lot for your time and answer.

Try yourself first.

Received a one line email from Self.sponsorship@npra.gov.bh saying the self sponsor Visa is approved and asking me to send passport.

The email has no sender name or telephone number. It  does not also say where and to whom the passport should be sent! No address and no name.

Also not clear how the payment is to be made.

Mr. XTang, any comments/advice based on your experience? Many thanks.

Before covid, you went to npra, the self sponsorship section and paid there and then.  I guess now you will have to take appointment on skiplino for any npra office that is open eg muharraq.
