Hi, you will be given some documents and an ID card from Bahrain for that but this question depends on where your home country is. Most western countries (US not included) you will have to file a case for non-residence with the tax agency and it is your home country who decides if you meet the requirement to be a tax resident of Bahrain. Some people need professional help with this.
Hi, I think it's very safe here, Bahrain ranked nearly as good as UAE in safety. But food price varies, basics like fresh fruit/veg/dairy is cheaper in Bahrain. In Dubai I think cheaper for some processed foods, household items and eating out at big chain restaurants, maybe it's the lower VAT. Overall cost of living Bahrain definitely lower
Hi there, nice video! I have some questions: 1. Why did you choose Bahrain over UAE or Oman? Is there some specific reasons or some advantages of Bahrain compared to UAE and Oman in your opinion? 2. What's the most spoken language in Bahrain? By what I've searched, the number of expats/foreigners is higher than the number of Bahrainis natives, so maybe arabic is not the most spoken language. 3. By what you see since you moved to Bahrain, how many percent of the population in Bahrain speak english? Maybe around 80% ? Is English enough to live and do everything in Bahrain or is it necessary to learn some arabic?
Hello, Oman definitely exceeds Bahrain in terms of nature and mountains, but Bahrain's advantage is it has the highest reputation of being welcoming and it also has better access to Saudi Arabia which is developing with many opportunities. UAE is too westernized and saturated. I think Arabic and English still dominate, although many south Asian languages are spoken by others. Those people should know some English/Arabic because thousands of Saudis come to Bahrain daily. I say over 80% of Bahrainis know English, but there are a few areas where Arabic is more necessary. Many people live in Bahrain with just 100% English, but I like to learn some Arabic and mix it with English, people appreciate some effort.
@@jcroad thank you very much for your answer, I'd also like to ask you how is it to drive in Bahrain. Is it harder or easier compared to drive in your home country? How is the traffic? How is the process to get the driver's license (how many days did it take you to get your driver license and what kind of tests did you have to do)? And how would you rate the roads/streets/asphalt in your opinion?
The driving certainly requires an adjustment and like anywhere some drivers are crazy but somehow there are not many accidents in BH. Traffic can be bad sometimes especially around schools or if you have a job in diplomatic area. License is fairly easy, they have a list of countries where you can show them your license from your country and they will hand you a BH license without a test. This requires a residence permit to get it. The roads generally are in great condition with almost no potholes.
Definitely gonna check this out when in Bahrain, thank you for the information
Hi do we have to show our country 's tax payments? Do they ask that while applying for resident permit?
