Sorry to hear this. So happy I’m out of there! Plenty of these cases due to highly unprofessional management in so many places. These managers have a seriously poor understanding good work ethics. I wish you all the best. Read More

I would say the souq, Hoora and the Exhibition Street area. The villages you mention aren’t of much interest to expats and they hardly ever go there. I don’t imagine many expats go to Karzakan at night unless they got friends there and ... Read More

I am sure I am not the only person to have encountered this but I was wondering if there are any legal people on her who can inform me whether the following practices are actually legal here in Bahrain. 1). The withholding of 2017/18 school ...

Happy to help if I can. Went through all this last year and I know how stressful these issues are. Ministry of Labour might not be able to help with anything though unless there is a contract. Read More
Can I look for a job with tourist visa by AlRameez
Hi All, I'm gonna get my tourist visa in a week and i'll be moving to Bahrain in another 2 weeks. I'll be staying with my cousin's place and i'll be looking for a job. Can someone tell me if it is okay to seek employement with ...
You can from what I know but it isn't wise to say you are moving to Bahrain when you enter...since these are not the usual procedures when people move here. It might seem as if you could be a potential overstayer if you do not find work on time. Read More

Sounds more like the new place screwed you over. Perhaps they hired someone else and are keeping you waiting in case it doesnt work out. I would look.for another job instead of waiting. A company that wants you would usually let you start asap while ... Read More

You can resign during your probation period but it's important to be open about things. Not sure it's ok to sign a new contract before resigning though but I feel it's a minor detail. You need to go to Ministry of Labour and talk to ... Read More

Why would you assume the salaries should be lowered and not increased? Many people receive ridiculous salaries if you look at how much they work. You can't deny the system is discriminating people based on nationality...but sure as you said it ... Read More
