Manama: A gulf country has stopped issuing new work permits for expats from ‘red list’ countries. Labour Market Regulatory Authority in Bahrain has announced this decision on Sunday. The decision was taken as six countries including India were included in the ‘red list’.
The countries included in the red list are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Vietnam. As the Covid-19 situation in these countries improves, visa issuing will be resumed. The new order is only applicable to those outside the country.
