Hello,

I run a business in Bahrain and one of my employees has been absconding for a few months now (and, I suspect, is illegally employed elsewhere.)

I filed a runaway case against her and it was approved last month by LMRA.

I have just been informed that she tried to leave the country today and was prevented from doing so at Bahrain International Airport because her runaway status is in effect. I'm now curious as to what happens now. Will she be detained by the police? Do I need to revoke her runaway status so she can leave the country legally, or will LMRA automatically deport her now?

I am currently not in the country myself so if my presence and/or action is required, I cannot immediately resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Please note that now the police will take care of it and the employee will be deported. If there is any action needed from your end, you will be informed. But just to be n the safe side. Once you are in Bahrain just enquire with LMRA and police that if there is anything to be pending from your end.

@agehrufus1

This cannot be solved. Your employer had applied for the visa earlier. Now the employer has cancelled the visa application or the visa application has been cancelled automatically by LMRA when the employer did not correct the mistakes.

Contact your employer.

marypeter1419,

He cannot black list you. Travel ban has no effect over your visa status/ renewal.
