Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

For a Bahrain business visa, a guarantor or authorised person applies while the visitor is outside Bahrain, using the official eGovernment website or in-person NPRA service in Muharraq or Isa Town. NPRA lists issuance processing in three working days and extension processing in one working day; the extension filing uses a passport valid more than six months and a service-centre form if applicable, with a BHD 40 extension fee. An unused visa expires three months after issuance; payment is due within 30 days of approval.
