Summary: 

The Flexi Permit is a renewable two year permit which allows the eligible person to work and live in the Kingdom of Bahrain without an employer (Sponsor) where they can work in any job with any number of employers on full or part-time basis.

Flexi Visa holders will be issued a renewable work permit with two years validity, health insurance coverage, and a return ticket at the end of the contract period or when the worker decides to return to his or her home country.  It also allows the migrant worker to legally work in Bahrain without an employer sponsor.

The visa may only be issued to out of status migrant workers without criminal records or travel ban due to an outstanding criminal case, and are not on domestic worker, business, or tourist visas. 

The selection criteria are sensitive to security and anti-trafficking in persons concerns of Bahrain.
