New 6-month work permit for expats in Bahrain.
Bahrain has introduced a new 6‑month work permit for expats already residing in the country and working in the commercial sector. This strategic move aims to increase labor market flexibility and enhance business adaptability to changing conditions.
For companies, it means they can quickly attract qualified specialists for short‑term projects or to test their competencies without the need for long‑term contracts. This is particularly relevant for sectors that are highly dynamic and require rapid responses to market changes.
“From a legal perspective, this innovation reduces employers' risks associated with long-term commitments to employees whose effectiveness or fit with the corporate culture has not yet been proven.”
