Hello all,
So, my fiancé has been working in Bahrain for two years now. Unfortunately, I cannot live in Bahrain on a residence visa because my fiancé's company does not sponsor couples who are not yet married. So I am not considered a dependent. What I've been having to do is pay for a tourist visa, then pay to extend, then leave the country, then re-enter Bahrain and start the process all over again. It has become incredibly expensive and stressful for us to stay together.
Is there an easier way to do this?

Unfortunately, no.
The only way to do it is to either get a job yourself, buy property for self sponsorship visa or set up a company and have it sponsor you.
Even if you get married, it is not easy for a woman to sponsor her husband.
