Why’s this awesome?

Well, it gives you more flexibility and options besides the usual one- and two-year permits. Plus, it’s all about making things easier for businesses and responding to what the market actually needs.

But here’s the catch (and it’s not even that bad): this new permit is only for expats already in Bahrain. So, if you’re dreaming of moving here, you’ll still have to go through the usual process. But for those already soaking up the Bahrain vibes….this is a GOLDEN opportunity!

There’s a bunch of perks for this new initiative! 

  • It helps businesses try out new talent without a long-term commitment.
  • It keeps costs down and efficiency up—perfect for startups or companies testing the waters.
  • It’s a win-win: workers get more job options, and businesses get to see if someone’s the right fit before going all-in.

The LMRA is serious about keeping up with the times, promising to keep reviewing and tweaking regulations to fit the ever-changing job market needs. Who knows? More cool updates could be on the way!
