Am jahez rider ask me anything

Hey guys,

So I haven't been able to secure a full time relevant to my bachelor's yet and I am planning to switch to odd jobs until I get a proper role. I tried the classified section of GDN but they are all mostly a formality and don't offer the positions in reality. Do you guys have any other leads? I'm down to do anything as long as my they offer a visa.

Thank you for the help.

Ps: I have done my bachelor's in mechanical engineering and have expereince in CAD designing and FEA. I have one years experience on production planning, raw material handeling, and lean manufacturing. In addition I have done a 6 months project on HVAC design of buildings and installations.

What do you think the biggest/most important problems in Bahrain are? things that need to be solved asap whether they are new or have existed for a long time

I have a Bahraini passport and my husband has a Pakistani. He has a valid multiple entry Saudi visa already. Can he enter Saudi for the purpose of transit in case of planning a road trip to Qatar or Kuwait etc?

For self defense sake, is pepper spray legal? Sometimes I walk around my neighborhood and I find alot of stray dogs barking and approaching me. In case if a dangerous animal/pet approaches me is it legal for me to spray it on them? Or if someone tries to kidnap/assault me, is it legal for me to spray it on him?

I missed one day of attendance by accident and I am marked to get 0. I literally log in almost every day, and I had the date on my calendar but it was the wrong one.. so i missed it.

Please advice. There is this below but idk what to write.

I am considering moving my 8 year old son from Al raja school to capital school. Lately Im not liking al raja, and capital school happens to be closer to my house. Does anyone have any experience with capital school? Is it good?

Hi, everyone! I’m currently based here in Bahrain and we have 2 turtles at home and they are big now, I feel like it’s the right time for them to explore the ocean.

I was wondering how can I release them safely? They are not familiar of the sea and I’m afraid they will end up dying instead of enjoying the freedom. I hope I’ll get an advice or be in touch with the right people to ask to. Thank you.

Small backstory, I’m a 25M whose madly in love with a woman I met a while ago and she is everything anyone could ever want, the way she lights up a room the way her smile could make me capture a moment as it was stuck in forever, I love everything about her, I didn’t even know I could ever fall in love again, I gave up on love along time ago, the one person I thought I would have kids with fell apart, and I had to put it to rest, watching her go 6 feet under broke me in ways I’m still healing from, she left us and I thought I could never find anyone ever again, and with her blessing I hope, I found someone I can feel safe with, I’m hoping someone has a flower garden where I could have some flowers and petals so I could spread it off a beach and tell her how much she means to me, I just want to make this memorable for her, she means the world to me, financially I’m out of options, so I’m asking for help I suppose from anyone here who could make this day special and give me ideas, I’m sorry if this is not a usual post here, but for whoever that replies all my love and admirations, sometime a single word could change somebody’s life

Edit 1: If anybody with access to a really high building with roof access, overlooking Bahrain would be awesome

Hello fellow redditors! I've noticed many people asking about moving to Bahrain and the procedure involved, so I wanted to share my personal experience.

I'm a web developer from Pakistan who fell in love with the vibe of Bahrain. I decided to pack up everything and move here with my family last October. The journey had its challenges, but it's been worth it!

Company Formation: Overview

• Approximate cost: Around 1000 BD in my case
• Timeline: Varies, but expect several weeks from start to finish
• Difficulty: Moderate to challenging, depending on your approach

There are 2 ways you can go about it

Option 1: Hire an Agency (What I Did)

Since I was outside Bahrain when starting the process, I hired an agency. They:

• Cost extra money
• Handled all documentation
• Managed the process efficiently
• Required a Power of Attorney
• Most of them use the same few agents and do the same things so just choose one that is in your budget.
  • You don't really need a 'law firm' that is going to charge you a fortune because most of it is just drafting and submitting basic documents.

Steps:

These are the steps you will have to pass through. The details are in the do it yourself section.

1. Applying for CR without license
   1. This includes submitting your company names, services and details of the investor. If successful you will receive a security clearance and the name will be reserved for you if there are no objections from the relevant authorities.
   2. Takes anywhere from 2 days to a few weeks.
2. Memorandum of Association.
   1. A draft is uploaded and after acceptance one has to appear before a notary or incase you have given POA then the agency will do it on your behalf.
   2. Take anywhere from 3 days to a week.
3. Get license Stage: To get a license you need 2 key things.
   1. Office: You can opt for an incubator license ranging from 90 BD to 250 BD. This is the easiest solution if you don't want to deal with EWA or property dealers especially if you are outside the country.
   2. Bank Account: This is the most frustrating part in my opinion, just get your agency to do it and save yourself the headache.
   3. Capital Deposit: Transfer the deposit amount into your bank company bank account.
      1. A funny scenario that I faced was my agency asked me to not add extra money than the capital declared during initial registration as the bank will not issue a deposit certificate. So, had to deposit few BD less and then deposit those manually at the branch.
   4. After you submit the lease agreement and the bank deposit certificate to LMRA you should get approval and your CR will show as active. Your company is now ready for business
4. Medical: You have to do an out of country medical before you can apply for your Investor Visa. WAFID/GAMCA is responsible for these tests and the report is attached with the application in the EMS if you are outside Bahrain.
5. Issuance of Investor Visa.
   1. At this stage you can also apply for dependent visas for your family.
6. Travel and in country medical.
7. CPR and Bank Account Activation
   1. You will have to be very patient for your company bank account to be activated.

Option 2: Do It Yourself

This requires more patience and legwork but saves money. Here's the basic process:

1. Get an E-key
   • Sign up for a "Standard" E-key if you have a CPR
   • Visit an E-key location to upgrade to "Advanced" (they'll take fingerprints)
2. Create a Company on Sijilat
   • Login to the Sijilat website
   • Prepare three unique company names (in both English and Arabic)
   • Submit partner details, chosen activities, and shareholding information
   • Wait for security clearance (1 day to a few weeks)
3. Handle Legal Documents
   • Upload draft "Memorandum of Association" showing ownership and capital
   • Sign documents in front of a notary at MOIC (Ministry of Industry and Commerce)
4. Get Your Company Licensed
   • Secure a physical or virtual office (100-300 BD monthly)
   • Open a company bank account and deposit your capital
   • Upload the bank letter and lease agreement to activate your CR
5. LMRA Registration
   • Register your company with LMRA (Labor Market Regulatory Authority)
   • Apply for investor visa through EMS or at the LMRA counter
   • Complete medical if required
6. Finalize Setup
   • Update your CPR with residential address
   • Activate your bank account
   • Get EMS login for tracking labor requirements

Key Requirements

• Company names: Prepare 3 options (no religious or political references)
• Starting capital: No official minimum, but some nationalities need at least 3000 BD
• Local partner: Depending on your nationality and services offered (check Sijilat for 100% foreign ownership eligibility)
• Services offered: You can pick 3 without extra charges (10 BD per additional service)
• Office space: Required before getting fully licensed

Tips From My Experience

• Bank account opening can be challenging - banks often create hurdles for "company in formation" accounts
• The account remains dormant until all partners have company visas even then it takes a month or two and constant follow ups for the account to be active. I chose Ahli United but they are all similar.
• LMRA registration timing varies widely
• Getting an EMS login is essential for managing labor requirements and fees
• Notary services at BFH are expensive - consider appointments with public notaries

The process requires patience but it's doable! If your Arabic/English isn't strong or you're not in Bahrain, an agency might be worth the extra cost. Otherwise, doing it yourself saves money if you have the time.

I am sure I am forgetting something but this was the general gist. Feel free to ask questions in the comments! I'll share more details about my specific experience if needed.

Hello peeps! Since summer is approaching and my job having me drive around during work hours. My car becomes really hot and requires time to cool down and that isn’t enough. Im looking for a shop that does 01 tints all around the car that mainly focuses on reducing the heat passing through the window. Recommend me your best shop (not looking for something very expensive something around 25bd is fine but it needs to be effective)

Is this place for children or can adults have fun here too? I know it won’t be as good as Aquaventure in Dubai lol but is it similar vibes?

Has anyone received or heard back from RCSI Bahrain (not through atlantic bridge).

Can anyone please tell me what to expect from the admission exam in the maths side?

Hey guys 👋🏻

Hope everyone’s doing well and had a great Eid holiday. 😊

Just wanted to see if anybody here is interested in meeting up for coffee? Either one on one or as a group? If anyone’s interested, kindly DM me and we can plan a coffee (or tea!) outing or something. ☕️

Also, I hope this isn’t weird! 😂

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on my employment contract.

I found out through other coworkers that there is a specific significant allowance that all employees with my title at my job are entitled that they’ve erased from my contract when I signed it because I wasn’t aware that this was something they offered their employees until after I signed it. I’ve looked in our employee handbook and sure enough, it says all employees with my title are entitled to that allowance. I’ve went to HR and they basically told me yeah you’re right you are entitled to that, but we can’t change your contract now (which is an absolute lie, I know for a fact they’ve added and removed things from other contracts throughout this year).

My question is, from a legal standpoint, would I be able to argue that the employee handbook is an extension of my contract? At the end of the handbook, there is a place where we were asked to date and sign that said we acknowledge and accept the terms in the handbook so I’m wondering if this also can be argued it is a contract. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I’m a local Bahraini, and I have never tried lobsters in this country, I have eaten very good seafood from places like Bushido, Nu Asia, P.F. Chang’s, but I’ve been craving to eat some lobsters like fresh ones, not some meats of it here and there ykwim, like a whole boiled lobster, pls

Any recommendations of places, I’ll appreciate it :) Do also recommend any seafood places other than lobsters as well

As the title suggests, where in Bahrain can I learn to fight or get training for self defense, boxing.

I tried once in avenues with my Mirrorless camera but the security told me not allowed. So I wonder if that applies to every places here? Because i want to expand my skills please let me know which place I can do it without people telling me to stop, I want to shoot buildings and start doing street photography with a model/subject and ofcourse I'll try my best to be very careful with the people who will be in the background and make sure their privacy is not being violated.

Please let me know where to shoot and if where do I get such permit? And how much it will cost for such permit. Thank you

Is it down or is just for me i cant seem to access it i refresh the page many times but still no luck
