🇧🇭 Visas & Immigration — Bahrain

Visa Details

Bahrain offers a Golden Residency Visa for investors and high-net-worth individuals — qualifying criteria include property investment (minimum BHD 200,000) or significant business investment. The Self-Sponsorship Visa allows freelancers and remote workers to reside in Bahrain. Company shareholders and directors can obtain work permits and residency through their Bahraini entity. The Flexi Permit (2-year work permit) is available for self-employed individuals. Bahrain's visa regime is generally more accessible than Saudi Arabia's and comparable to the UAE's for most nationalities.
