The Ministry of Interior: Citizenship, Passports, and
Residence Affairs announced during a press conference on Monday, 7
February 2022 the introduction of a new 'Golden Residency
Permit' in the Kingdom of Bahrain directed towards investors
and talented individuals.
In recent years, 'permanent residencies' have become
increasingly available within the Arabian Gulf as they grant
individuals lasting residence in the distributing nation, provided
their eligibility for such. Previously, permit holders have had to
renew their residency permits regularly and are usually bound to
their employers which limits their stay in the Kingdom. However,
this recent development intends to attract and retain greater
talent and investment in the country by way of offering further
flexibility and easing the restrictions on residency laws for those
eligible, while also playing an important role in strengthening the
economic diversity of the Kingdom.
