I want to bring my parents in bahrain for visit. I am told by an agent that i need to get NOC from my employer.

I am working in Bank. I want to know that can bank HR can apply for visa/NOC for my parents?

Thanks.

Yes they can.  For a sponsored visit visa, your employer is the one who actually applies on your behalf and takes guarantee of the person leaving at visa expiry time.  For aged parents, that is pretty much the only guaranteed way of getting a visa.  I am sure your bank HR would know the process very well.

Thanks XTang. And is there any specific time frame of that visa where my parents will have to travel? I mean for how much time sponsor visa will be valid to plan their travel? They are planning for 2nd week of July.

Thanks.

Usually after issuance, the visa is valid for travel within 3 months.
