Hi All!
As a new member, thought of writing something new. It's not a good way to start but since this is the start so why not say and share it with you.
I was offered a job from a Qatar based company. The job is to be stationed in Bahrain. An employer sent me a job offer and a contract. I noticed the letterhead used in the job offer is from Qatar based company while the contract draft is from my sponsor company in Bahrain. I was offered like BD 550 plus accommodation, and the transport does not included because they say the office is a walking distance to the accommodation. I refuse to take BD 550 because it is lesser than what I expect. I tried to negotiate them and they are also responding. So, i got an offer which came from two different currency in BD and in QR which is stated in the offer letter. BD 550 and QR 2500! The role of my sponsor company in Bahrain is for me to obtain an entry visa.
I signed the draft contract last June 22, 2014. My direct contact who is remotely communicating with me is my future immediate superior based in Qatar. He said that my visa to Bahrain was already applied by the sponsor company last week. I was not sure about the information if they really applied for it because when I sent an email lately to evisa[at]gdnpr.gov.bh asking if there's any application using my passport number and my nationality; and this is the reply of the helpdesk:
Dear Sir / Madam,
This is the electronic visit visa help desk; we couldnt find any application for the passport number you sent, so please contact your sponsor or the LMRA [link under review] if it is family/ work visa.
We hope we have answered your question, but if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Evisa Help Desk

My question is, do you have any cases like this before? I just want to read comments and opinions about it. Actually my job is all about management and monitoring system in 8 members state concerning environmental issues.
Happy to hear your points of view. Appreciate if you can refer me a thread like this before.
