Dear Members / experts

I was in Bahrain and have a valid CPR and Residence Visa. My Residence Visa is valid till july of 2020.
In January 2019 i had to travel out of bahrain for medical reasons and am planning to come back in August 2019. That is around 8 months.

I would like to know if there any requirements from immigration on this or i can stay out of bahrain as long as my residence visa is valid.

Thanks

XTang

No issue coming back as long as visa is valid.  This is an issue in other GCC countries e.g. UAE where the residence visa is cancelled if you stay outside for more than 6 months.
