If you live in Bahrain and your loan and cards are up to date then you shouldn't have to clear them in order to travel to work in Saudi.

You are resident in Bahrain so you should be fine. I would suggest though that you talk to both the bank and credit card company showing your new contract and salary certificate. They will then be prepared for when your CPR is cancelled. Once you get your Iqama you can then apply for a paper CPR and produce that to the bank and card companies. They may freeze your accounts in the process so draw enough money out of your bank to sustain you during the process

Thanks for the reply Jo I tend to over think things and was getting myself a little worried. Thanks again

I almost have he same predicament as i have an outstanding balance with a bank but nevertheless i never fail to settle my due. But my company has decided not to renew my contract dew to bahrainization. I was trying to look for a decent job in bahrain but to no avail. Most of my applications are outside bahrain which i know that it will give a better pay off and will continue my monthly due. I actually retain an ample amount in my bank account to at least cover months of looking for another job. But I am just afraid that i might hold at the airport due to travel ban. Please advice me....
