10-year renewable Bahraini Golden Residency for foreigners owning BHD 200,000+ in Bahrain property, with full work rights and family sponsorship.
Bahrain's Golden Residency (Property Owner track) is a 10-year renewable residence permit administered by the NPRA under the Ministry of Interior, launched in 2022 to attract long-term foreign capital. It targets foreigners who own Bahraini real estate with a combined title-deed value of at least BHD 200,000, granting the right to live, work, and run businesses without a local sponsor.
Applications are filed via the bahrain.bh eServices portal with the title deed, Bahrain health insurance, a recent medical report, a 6-month bank statement, and a valid passport. Fees are BHD 5 plus BHD 300 issuance, with processing around 5 working days. The permit is renewable for further 10-year terms while the property is retained, and holders can sponsor spouse, children, and parents.
This visa is ideal for high-net-worth property investors who want a decade-long Gulf base with full work rights, family sponsorship, and no annual renewal cycle.
