After graduating in Bahrain, international students can explore post-study work visa options to gain professional experience. The Kingdom offers a two-year renewable residency permit for graduates, allowing them to seek employment without a sponsor.
To qualify, applicants must hold a degree from a recognized Bahraini institution and secure a job offer. The employer typically handles the visa process. Alternatively, graduates may apply for a freelance visa under the Flexi Permit scheme, which grants residency without employer sponsorship.
It’s advisable to check the latest regulations with Bahrain’s Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) or consult your university’s career services for guidance.
