Family Visas and Agents

Your company must support for dependent visa. No other way.

Thanks you for your speedy response! In the interests of not annoying our employers, would you perhaps know if this is a difficult process? Of course we would pay and organise all the relevant paper work but other than that, is it overly time consuming for the employers?

Thank you again

Hi,
No it is not, its a standard process which every employer has to follow.

T&R

As mentioned, it is standard process.

The employer files an online application on the LMRA EMS system (Not E-support but Expat Management system which only companies have access to).   This application has all the necessary documents attached to it i.e. attested birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport copies etc.  Once approved, the visa costs 90 BD for 2 years and there is a one time fee of 5 BD for the application.   Then the dependent starts showing on the CR under the employee in the EMS system.

There is, as I said, ABSOLUTELY no other way to get a dependent visa without getting your company involved as the application will be made by them.  Even if you make a paper application at LMRA counter; the authorized person for the company will have to go with you to stamp and sign it.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply, it is appreciated!!
