Can I work in Bahrain?

How it works: The employer applies to the Labour Market Regulatory Authority and pays; the vacancy goes to Bahrainis first (reported March 2026: a 7-day advert, then 21 days).

Watch for: You cannot work on a visit visa; the permit is issued before you fly. Employers below their Bahraini-staff target paid extra permit fees from 2017; not confirmed for 2026.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.

Official source: Labour Market Regulatory Authority: notice on work permits for expatriate workers (12 October 2022). Checked November 2026.

Guidance, not legal advice. Rules change; your employer confirms the details for your case.
