Hi XTang,

I checked with the NPRA last week and they said it will be stamped at the airport. Kindly let me know if you have any update on that. My sponsor is also saying the same thing but am worried if that is not the case.

The only way someone can confirm is if they have travelled recently, hopefully someone will reply back. But you can contact LMRA and get a confirmation.

They are saying that but the situation is a bit tricky. One of my friends got it stamped and the other could not.聽 That's why I recommend that you get it done if you can before going.

I understand but my flight is this Friday and I could not get an appointment to get the stamp from NPRA鈥檚 Muharraq office, which opened less than a month ago. My employer called NPRA and was told that it will be done on the airport in this case. I guess I will have to try my luck at the airport.

Hi Ali,

One of my colleague just got the RP stamp on his passport from the airport when he flew out of Bahrain last Monday. But his case is because his passport got renewed and we couldn鈥檛 get appointment from NPRA as well.

Hope you鈥檒l manage to get it when you travel.

Finally I got contact of an agent and he managed to get the stamp in a day. What he told me is that no one is getting the online appointment. The app always shows full.

I was trying for more than 2 weeks even checking the app on Friday mid night once the whole week's timings are open but it always shows no slots available.
Don't know why even they have put it in the first place. These agents don't need online appointment. Contact any document clearing agent and they will do it in a day or two. I called few of them and they are charging anything between 5-10 BD.

First of all thank you for replying guys. Unfortunately now I don鈥檛 have the time to contact a clearing agent to get the job done since my flight is tomorrow morning. Hopefully, it will be done at the airport. Will keep you guys updated!

Just to inform everyone, they stamped my visa at the immigration counter while exiting Bahrain. So basically before the immigration personnel put the exit stamp, just tell him that you need a new RP sticker and he鈥檒l do it for you. I hope this answers most of the people鈥檚 questions.

Thanks for the update. I hope this applies to all cases but i must say if you can stamp it before you travel its always the best.

Hi,

Can anyone please guide me how to check one's RP status and date of expiry? The RP on the passport was only till May 2020. My employer says it has been renewed. But is there ways to check the validity and status?

Go to lmra website and go into Expat portal to check.

Expat portal is under maintenance. Is there any other way to check? Tried through express services but the expiry date is not mentioned there. Although legal status says valid employment visa.

Only ways to know:

1) Expat portal
2) EMS system - employer
3) Call LMRA

But if it says valid employment visa, then it means that the visa was renewed after May. You just need to know for how long.

Ok that is relief at least. I still need to know聽 for how long. Do you suggest trying to call LMRA directly?

If you have a valid RP on your old passport and you are planning to go outside. Don't worry! just go as normal..... the only thing you can do is to give your old passport and the new one in Immigration. The Immigration will put the exit stamp on your new passport .Also the same thing if you go back. Then... once you renew your RP... they will put the new RP sticker on your new passport and no need to bring聽 your old passport if you want to exit.
