Golden Residency Visa Bahrain

#citizenship

About

Following the footsteps of its Gulf neighbours, Bahrain has begun the process of establishing long-term visas for visitors. Many countries in the region are attempting to diversify their economies in order to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels in the face of fluctuating oil prices. In an effort to attract talent, they have loosened immigration regulations for this aim.

According to Bahrain's norms and laws, the following categories are eligible for the issuance of a Golden Residency Visa:

  • Building Owners
  • Residents (Employees and Retirees)
  • Retirees
  • Highly talented people

Eligibility

You are eligible for this visa if,

  • You have retired from any place in the globe and are not a resident of the Kingdom of Bahrain, receiving a base salary of at least 4,000 Bahraini Dinars.
  • You possess one or more properties in the Kingdom of Bahrain, with a combined market value of all your properties at the time of purchase of at least 200,000 Bahraini Dinars.
  • You have been employed in Bahrain for at least five years and have earned an average basic wage of at least 2,000 Bahraini Dinars throughout that time.
  • You have a talent that can be useful.

Documents

The documents needed for a golden visa may differ depending on the basis of your application. For instance, different documents are required for investors, employees, retirees, etc. Some of them are given below.

  • The passport is still valid after six months.
  • A copy of the applicant's six-month bank statement.
  • A current Bahraini Kingdom health insurance certificate.
  • A basic salary proof must show that it is at least 4,000 Bahraini Dinars.
  • Property deeds in the Kingdom of Bahrain are worth at least 200,000 Bahraini dinars.
  • A document attesting to your talent or aptitude.
  • Previously issued dwelling permit (If available).

There is no need to provide all these documents but only the ones required.

Process

Those who own properties worth at least 200,000 dinars are also eligible to receive the golden residence, as well as "talented" individuals. Those eligible may apply for a golden residence visa.

Visa Processing Time
The visa may take longer than usual. It can take even a month to process. This time period may vary so you should be prepared for any kind of delays.

How to Apply
The process of application is straightforward. You are required to fill out the application form, attach documents to it and pay the processing fee. After that, what you can do is wait for confirmation.

Duration & Fees

Duration
Ten-year Golden Residency Visas are available from Bahrain (Golden Visa). Later on, the visa gives expatriates and international investors the chance to live permanently in the nation.

Fees
For qualified candidates, the Golden Visa will be issued immediately and will cost 300 BD (US$795). We anticipate that more information on the Golden Visa will be released in the upcoming months. It can be received through the e-Government Portal.

Extension

The golden visa is initially provided for 10 years. It can be further extended and can even lead to a permanent residence.

Highlights

Business
The visa is for investors in Bahrain.

Residence
It can lead to permanent residence.

Dependents
Include family members, if any.
