How to check your Bahrain visa status online?

You can track the status of your Bahrain visa application using the passport number on the Bahrain e-visa website. In addition, the validity of residency and work visas can be verified through two platforms: The Kingdom of Bahrain’s National Portal for residency visas and the Labour Market Regulatory Authority website (LMRA) for work visas. The following sections provide a detailed guide on how to use these services.

eVisa application

To check the application status of your e-visa or permits issued by Bahrain:

Check out the Bahrain e-visa website here
Enter your passport number, nationality and date of birth
Enter the Application Reference Number you were given when you applied for your Visa or Permit
Click “Submit” and view the status of your visa application

Residence visa

To check the validity of your residency visa or residence permit and print your residence certificate issued by Bahrain, follow the below-mentioned steps:

Visit the Kingdom of Bahrain’s National Portal
Go to the Residency e-Services section
Under that, select “Manage Residency Requests” or “Manage Residence Permit”
Select one of the two options given: Enquire about “Specific Residency” or “Multiple Residencies/Requests”
If you selected the Multiple Residencies/Requests option, you must log in to your eKey account using your Identity number and password to perform the validity check
If you selected the Specific Residency option, choose one of the two options given: Enquire using “Bahraini Personal Number” or “Passport Details”
Enter your personal number and passport number if you selected the Bahraini Personal number option
Enter your passport number, nationality and date of birth if you selected the Passport Details option
Click “Search,” and the Residency details will be displayed, such as the Residency owner’s name, personal number, expiry date and residency certificate.
You can download the certificate using the download option or select the “Email a copy” option if you need it mailed.

Work visa

Previously, validity checks were performed using the Expatriate Portal on the LMRA website, which provided the legal status, name, occupation, employer and monthly fee details. However, that page was removed long ago.

Now, Bahrain visas can be checked through the Verification of Eligibility to Join the Labour Registration Program page on LMRA, which will only provide the employee’s legal status and registered work permit eligibility.

To check the legal status of your work visa or permits issued by Bahrain:

Check out the Verification of Eligibility to Join the Labour Registration Program page on the LMRA website
Here, you can check your legal status and eligibility to apply through the registration program using your Identity number, Work Permit number, application ID or Passport number.
Choose any of the options mentioned above and enter the personal number, work permit number, or application ID per the selected option in the given column. For the passport number option, you must also choose your nationality
Click the “I’m not a robot captcha” and select the “Search” button
Your legal status and eligibility will be displayed on the next page.
