Bahrain has intensified its efforts to curb irregular employment, with the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducting 1,409 inspection campaigns and visits between July 20 and 26, leading to the deportation of 120 violators.
The weekly inspection efforts resulted in the arrest of 15 illegal workers, according to LMRA. Violations uncovered during the operations involved breaches of Bahrain’s labour and residency laws. Legal action was taken against those found in violation.
Joint Campaigns
Of the total, 1,395 inspections targeted commercial establishments across all governorates, while 14 joint campaigns were carried out in collaboration with other authorities. These included five campaigns each in the Muharraq and Northern Governorates, and four in the Southern Governorate.
The campaigns were conducted with the involvement of the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs Department, governorate security directorates, and the General Organization for Social Insurance.
The LMRA reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with government agencies to strengthen inspection campaigns, aiming to protect labour market stability, economic competitiveness, and national security.
It urged the public to support the crackdown by reporting any suspicious employment practices through its website, the Tawasul platform, or its call centre. Authorities pledged continued enforcement to preserve labour market integrity
