Hello!
Im in need of some guidance. I have resigned from my company through the proper channel by sending my resignation through mail and I have received a pink slip from the post office. My last day was August 2017, and I was given mobility and my new employer is willing to transfer my visa. After a month of waiting for my visa, my new employer asked me to extend another mobility to lmra which I did. Here comes October I received a call from my previous employer asking why my new employer didnt transfer my visa yet. I followed up to my new employer and they said I have to ask for another mobility to my previous company. My previous employer gave another mobility. After a month I asked my new employer about my visa status and they said they are working on it and I just have to wait. Mid December I took my passport with them as they werent able to provide me new visa and I applied for another company.
I found another company and they are willing to transfer my visa. They asked for a copy of my passport and I just have to wait. I waited until January but I havent heard from them, first week of February I followed up my application and they said they are processing. I gave up so I decided to just leave the country and go home. Then I received a call from my previous employer that they had reported me as a ran away.
I went to lmra and they said I do not have any issues with them but I have to double check with the immigration. After 3 days, I went to immigration and asked if I have any case filed against me. They said I have a ran away case. I went to my embassy and asked for help, they said they cannot do anything as other than to ask my previous employer to give me an NOC. I called my previous employer, they said they want me to go to jail and that they will not give me a permit to leave Bahrain. Should I go to ministry of labour before seeking the help of a lawyer? I need your help pls. Thank you!
