if your visa not cleared in a week means this will not be cleared and after some days it will be rejected, as per my experience as I am applying since long time on bahalf of my company.

In current situation, maybe.   But then again, most approvals I have seen in the past few weeks have happened in the time period of 2-4 weeks so that is not necessarily true.

And in normal circumstances, that does not apply and is not at all true.  I have seen many visas being delayed for weeks and then approved.  I have also seen visas being rejected and then approved and vice versa as well.  You cannot generalise. 

And I am speaking from experience as the company I worked for in Bahrain had a huge amount of employees and I was designated as the responsible person in LMRA as well as authorised signatory or company nominee with MOL, MOIC, Customs, Tamkeen, SIO etc so I have had the opportunity to see most government processes in a lot of detail.   We even interacted a number of times with immigration on some visas so I have also had the opportunity to see why sometimes visas get delayed - and at times the reasons are so simple that it will surprise you.

XTang Thanks for the details, Could you also guide me that can I check the status of visit visa of my baby by personally visiting in NPRA as my company applied the visa ? Also if the visa is still on hold can we reapply for 2nd time or we have to wait until 1st application got rejected ?

You can pm me.

Also at the causeway now, the visa on arrival for Pakistani driver profession is now open since the last week.

today npra  again 2nd time reject my visa they  are just keep 10 days and then reject
even i am old  from bahrain work there 5 years also i upload my cpr but they reject without any reason

Do you really think that going to pakistani embassy with others will solve this issue . ?

I applied for my family visit visa on Thursday, status was changed to approved and asked to pay for further 35BD. Now it is waiting for NPRA. This is where we have the problem?

Hi waqas, that's good news, Could you tell us you applied for the first time or 2nd time ? Did you applied through some private agent or your company applied the visa ?

I applied for first time and my company applied. But i don't know whether is good news or it is where most the visas are getting rejected.

I don't think it is approved yet.  You pay when you apply.  After payment, the application is sent to NPRA.  When they approve, the status changes and the visa is issued.

And yes, that is where the problem is.

Dear XTang,

We paid when we applied, status remained pending for one day, and then status is the visa is approved and you need to pay visa fee in 30 days. Which we have done this morning.

Currently, below is the status

"NPRA is now going through a procedure for granting the visa"

I hope, the issue is resolved overall for all of us.

Ah, you applied through a company online?

Unsponsored evisa is different.  You pay when you apply.   For company, yes, you pay when the visa is approved - the initial payment is only the application fee of 4 BD and then 35BD for family eNOC when approved.  If that is the case, don't worry as visa has been approved.

Dear xTang,

Yes my HR applied online and they paid 4 BD first. Yesterday, status changed to approved and Today they have paid 35 BD.

Yes you are write, it is family eNOC and having below current status

"NPRA is now going through a procedure for granting the visa".

I am hopeful after your message. One more question, if you might be aware. For family eNOC, what is the validity of visa? Or it is different for different cases and need to check with HR.

Thanks.

Well it depends on what was issued.  But generally, it is an evisa but a sponsored one - so all conditions are usually the same i.e. entry within 1 to 3 months and stay for 1 month.

Hi, Do you think applying online by company will have more chances of granting a visa as compare to other procedure ?

I am thinking to apply for the 2nd time for visit visa, So wondering if applying online will give me good result.

Thanks,

Sponsored visit visas have a much higher chance of being approved vs. unsponsored evisas.  This has always been the case.

Today, with the ban on nationality, no one can say.  But still the chance would be higher but not guaranteed.

Noted, If my company will apply the visit visa online it will be sponsored visa ? Right ?

Yes if they apply through their evisa login.

But keep in mind that work permits and dependent visas are still being rejected - and they are definitely sponsored visas as well

Just to update on my case.

My all visa are issued today. I applied for three visas (My parents and sister) and all of them got approved and issued.

I hope all the best for you all guys as well.

Thanks

any progress regarding family visa ?

Salam,

Guys any update regarding Work Visa.

Thanks

disappointment continue
no progress

i want to apply for my family visa just need some information from you guys.  as i have 200BD registered salary in SIO but my company said they in increase it to 400BD in SIO. after that do i have to show any other proof for the salary or it is enough. as i am getting 300BHD account transfer.

1) This thread is not for those questions
2) Don't post twice
3) No.  If the salary is updated then your company can apply normally via the EMS system

Dear XTANG:

My Saudi IQama profession is Computer Network Technician. Will they allow me to enter bahrain via Causeway ?  I am planning to visit Bahrian during weekand.

Thanks

Well, till last week it was ok.

Dear Xtang,

Any update on dependent's visa ?

I have heard that they are issuing dependent visas and visit visas are still on hold.

Source is not reliable to be honest.

regards,

Waqas

Same situation as before unfortunately.
