Disregard the last 4 lines. Those are from another post that I was reading (did some copy and paste) and forgot to delete. I have tried to edit my initial post but I can't.

You have to apply for ceiling increase.  When ceiling is approved, you need to apply for work permit.  When that is approved, you need to take her for enrollment after taking appointment.  After this, there is medical.

I can't see the link but you can apply through LMRA EMS system via an ekey.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick note to tell you that the link has been validated and is now visible.

Thanks very much XTang.

Managed to get an advanced eKey and applied for ceiling increase yesterday. Waiting for the approval.

Ok, so the next step is to apply for her work permit.

Quick question, her current visa will expire tomorrow (Feb 3rd), before I apply, does she needs to be "released" from her previous employer first (they need to cancel her visa) or I can apply as soon as the ceiling request gets approved? Problem is that her previous family already left Bahrain.

Taking her for enrollment, you mean to give the biometrics? I guess that I can book an appointment online?

Same for the medical I suppose, I need to take an appointment online? Do you know which hospitals are LMRA's approved?

Sorry, too many questions, apologies for the headaches.

Thanks your kind assistance. It is very much appreciated.

Also, she already gave the biometrics and took a medical in the past, does she needs to do it again?

Thanks again.

Her previous visa needs to be cancelled for you to apply.

Enrollment is biometrics.  Appointment online at lmra website and needs to be done again.

Medical again as well.  Can be scheduled or rescheduled via bahrain.bh.

Ok, so I understand that it’s not enough for the visa to expire, her previous employer  needs to cancel it as well?

I will tell her to get in touch with them, problem is that they already left Bahrain, we shall see.

Would it work if the previous employer provides her with the cancellation form and then she goes herself to the LMRA and cancel it?

I know that the cancellation can be done online but I believe that the previous employer has no eKey (they did everything in person when they applied for her visa back in the day).

Meantime can I put an application in (at least that’s also done) until her visa is cancelled or the visa has to be cancelled first?

She can't cancel it herself.  Employer has to nominate an authorized person on their behalf to do it.   There is an LMRA form that needs to be signed by them.   They should ask any agent who can represent them and proceed with the cancellation.
