Yes, a medical test is required and mandatory for a Bahrain work visa. To apply for a work visa in Bahrain, you must undergo a pre-employment medical examination. The medical examination must be done at a registered or accredited medical centre before the work permit is approved and issued, and another medical test must be done after you arrive in Bahrain to obtain your residence permit. Having a valid medical report is one of the main requirements for a Bahrain work visa.
