    According to the Bahrain Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

    Anyone wishing to live and legally work in Bahrain will need to apply for the following visas and permits. Employers are advised to arrange and process necessary documents to the Labour Market Regulatory Authority prior to the arrival of their employees and dependents.

    Residency Permit (Family Visa), submitted to Labour Market Regulatory Authority and issued by General Department for Nationality & Passport Residence. Requirements:
    Application form
    Employee & family’s passport copies
    Employee’s sponsorship letter
    Employee’s contract
    Family health record from an authorised clinic
    BD22 fee per applicant

    Whether your husband can sponsor you or not depends on his contract and salary. Please inquire at the appropriate government office, your husband's employing company, or http://lmra.bh/portal/en/home regarding eligibility and procedures.
