From August 1 to December 31, illegal foreign workers in Bahrain have the chance to legalize their status or surrender without penalty. This is possible because of the five-month amnesty program implemented by Bahrain’s government.

Labor Minister and Labor Market Regulatory Authority chairman Dr Majeed Al Alawi said, “The Illegal workers should seek the help of the General Directorate of Nationality, Passports and Residence (GDNPR) through their respective embassies.”
