Residents and non-residents in Bahrain can expect their applications to be processed electronically, and immediately, upon meeting the prescribed criteria.

The Golden Residency Visa was announced at a Press conference held yesterday at the Officers’ Club in Gudaibiya and jointly addressed by Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary for Nationality, Passports and Residency Affairs at the Interior Ministry, and Shaikh Ahmed bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Assistant Undersecretary at NPRA.

“The introduction of the Golden Residency Visa is designed to attract investors, benefit our businesses, and contribute to the provision of quality opportunities for Bahrainis. This programme will also provide the deserved reward to those existing residents who have contributed significantly to Bahrain’s economy and society over many years,” Shaikh Hisham said.

“By retaining and attracting those with talent, experience, and internationally renowned knowledge, the Government of Bahrain has adopted a dynamic approach as we emerge from the pandemic with reasons to be highly optimistic about the strength and growth of our economy.

“This Golden Residency Visa will enhance and promote the continued development of the business and investment-friendly environment that the Kingdom of Bahrain is already known for. It will be available for qualifying residents, allowing them to take advantage of the benefits of being permanent residents.”
