I don’t understand one thing about the working system at the ministries and government offices and that is why it takes aeon for a simple task like updating records on computers when it is just a click away. A case in point is the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA).
Our company was one of the first to register its employees with the LMRA. After everything was done, we got our passports with renewed residence permits and new updated CPRs.

BAHRAIN’s e-visa facilities have proved a boon for the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), processing a record 16,000 applications last month, it was revealed yesterday.
The service was initially available for visit visas, with between 600 and 800 such e-visas being issued every month by the General Directorate of Nationality, Passports and Residence (GDNPR)..
My company is looking for staff members, every day we get a lot of job seekers who come for interviews.
Most of them are brought by their relatives or friends to find employment in Bahrain.
I am confused about how the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) works. For example, when you go there, you will find a long queue of people waiting to take tokens. Usually, you will get three tokens of three different departments and have to wait for hours for your turn.
You will reach one counter after three to four hours, and when your token number is called you will miss the turn because you are busy in another department. Then be ready to come again the next morning. This is one case.
Can anybody clarify what authority the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has? How can LMRA officials (new recruits) enter premises and ask for CPR cards of all the people on the floor?
Recently, two men from LMRA were found asking for cards of all staff and customers and instructing customers to go out and sit in their houses and not to do shopping.
