The Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) announced yesterday the extension of the validity of all valid and expired visit visas for three months. Also, no fees will be taken to correct all types of resident permits until the end of the year.

This move is part of the implementation of the decision of the coordination committee, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, to promote national efforts against the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). It is also part of the follow-up of Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa.

The move aims to reduce the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world and to enable residents and visitors to correct their situations. The NPRA highlighted that the validity of all visit visas would automatically be renewed for three months, starting from the date of the issuance of the decision, along with resident permits.
