In Bahrain, it is the general custom that half of the entire workforce

must be composed of Bahraini citizens. This is one of the reasons why

it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a job in Bahrain and to

also obtain a working visa for the country.



In order to start working in Bahrain, you must first get an employer

to act as your sponsor. It is the duty of your job employer to get you

a work permit before you will be allowed to begin work in that region.

You will only be assigned a job under the condition that your employer

has already obtained a work permit for you. It is this work permit he

will then assign to you.



Requirements to obtain a work permit



In order to obtain a work permit, you will need to have the following:

A passport



Standard photographs of yourself



A copy of an up to date Curriculum Vitae



Original qualification Certificates that can verify all claims on your

Curriculum Vitae



Usually, companies in Bahrain have someone within the company who

handles all paper works relating to these kinds of matters, so you

would not need to worry much.



If you are self-employed, there are agencies available to complete the

process for you. These agencies are familiar with all aspects of the

application process and will guide you through all the processes

involved. If you are self-employed, you will also need a Bahraini

national to handle issues with the Ministry of Defense, this is a

mandatory requirement.



As soon as you are granted a work permit, you will be automatically

entitled to a residency visa.



There is no Bahrain embassy in Nigeria. Hence, Nigeria is one of the

114 countries that are eligible to apply for Bahrain electronic visa.

There are two forms of residency Visas. One is for those who are

employed and the other is for their dependent spouses and families.



It is now becoming more common for expatriates (those from foreign

countries) to buy property in certain areas of Bahrain. This will then

automatically entitle them to a residency visa.
