No, you cannot directly convert a Bahrain work visa to PR, as the country does not give PR status to most work permit holders. To apply for permanent residency in Bahrain, you must opt for long-term residency programs, such as the Golden Residency Visa pathway. You must, however, meet specific eligibility criteria to qualify for permanent residency through the Golden visa program. The process of converting a Bahrain work permit to long-term residency is not direct. It requires an application based on your investment, salary, and the duration of your stay in Bahrain.
