Hello everyone,
Any idea how long I can stay in Bahrain after my working visa is cancelled? Since Im still waiting for my new working visa from my new employer? My new employer told me i will get my visa after 1 month.
And one thing, my passport is still with my previous employer, they will return it back to me after I get my new working visa.
Anyone could give me advice about this? thank you in advance

You can stay for 30 days once visa is cancelled.

No one can retain your passport by law.

He can join without exit if his visa is cancelled and the new employers apply for a visa for him within the grace period.
