Hi Everyone

I too strongly recommend getting a job first and then coming over on a proper employment visa.

The one week visa will not get you too far, since you cannot do much in that one week. Job hunting, applying, intervew, section, etc ... all these take a loooooooootttttttttt of time here in Bahrain.

I too do not recommend coming here to look for casual jobs. As said earlier, they are rare, and even if available do not pay well since there are hundreds of people willing to do those jobs for next to nothing here. I am talking about a few dinars for a full day's work sometimes. Sad, but true!

I know Bahraini football clubs have foreign players, but these players are probably professional footballers. If you wish to play, probably you may have to join a club as a member and then compete for a place in the squad. Once again this maybe a long process until you achieve your objective. But if you do persevere you may be successful.

If you wish to join a University here, you will not be able to work (legally). Nor sure if Bahrain is the best place for good and affordable tertiary education. Its quite costly to live and study here.

Trust your questions are answered. Anything else please feel free to ask. Best wishes.
