Good Conduct Certificate for Self sponsorship missing documents

Post new topic

JBoxer

Hi All,  thank you for taking the time to help.
So I've started along the self-sponsorship path, through the purchasing of a property, and have just come up with a small hiccup that was hoping someone on the forum could help with. 

A requirement to the self-sponsorship request is the issuance of a good conduct certificate, which in itself requires a letter from the NPRA.
I attempted to apply online at bahrain.bh for the good conduct certificate, the request was rejected later the same day due to a missing attachment (the NPRA letter). I later confirmed that the NPRA request letter is required, by visiting the CID in person, where they showed me what the letter looks like.

Where can I request this letter? And what is the process?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

You can contact NPRA on 17399712, explain the matter and request for the letter. They will help you.

Before Covid, you had to take a letter from them in person.  Now you need to contact them via the below details:

Telephone Number: +973-17399712
Fax: +973-17535204
Email: self.sponsorship@npra.gov.bh

Thank you for your prompt reply.
For those that do stumble upon this post, I'll provide additional details.

I emailed the self sponsorship NPRA email at Self.Sponsorship@npra.gov.bh requesting this form. They responded within 30 min, with a pdf file to fill in.  Very basic information, it took 3 min to fill in. I replied to the email attaching the filled-in form, and the NPRA endorsed it within 15 min.
All said and done within 1 hour.

Thank you all for your support.

Yep the self sponsorship section is pretty efficient in customer dealing.

Thanks everyone for your help as I felt much frustration for what looks like a very simple process/procedure when you have the right information!!  Thanks again and have a good week!!

Please let me know in case you get any further information. Happened exactly the same to me.

Well I didn't get through on the email but they did answer the phone +973-17399712 promptly.  As all said, they are very efficient once you get through.  The NPRA person provides his/her email to which you send a passport copy.  He/she sends you a pdf CID form (which unfortunately I'm unable to download on this site) which you are required to complete using Adobe fill/edit option. Returned the form asap and received the final stamped CID letter within minutes which now has to be taken to Main Traffic Office in AlAli along with copies of your passport, CPR and residence visa.  Will update you when I finish this.

I had a similar problem.


NPRA gave me a CID form for applying online. But it was impossible for me to request a good conduct certificate online, because I didn't have eKey, and no CPR to get one.

I contacted CID office in Muharraq and they told me that they don't issue good conduct certificates for people who do not have a residence permit.


Finally NPRA told me that I could apply without the good conduct certificate, and it went through.


Maybe your situation is similar. Ask them.

As of now, Ekey is not required for applying if you are outside Bahrain at the moment. If you never had a residence in Bahrain they cannot issue a Good Conduct Certificate because you were never a resident.

Dear all,


   please suggest me how to get clearance letter to apply visa in LMRA.

@shijithdas


For Applying for a visa in LMRA. You do not need a good conduct certificate.

XTang

Good conduct certificate is for people who have a residence visa and for longer than a certain period of time.    If you don't fit that criteria, you will not get a good conduct certificate.


For self sponsorship, the good conduct should be given from the country that you are currently resident or living in.
