Hello... I am working in bahrain... And first they...

The matter is considered illegal if it is not stipulated in the employment contract or the recruitment contract
But if there is a provision in the contract that a penal clause exists in the event that the cancellation and return is requested by you that the visa costs are paid then you are obligated to it and according to what is determined by the penal clause
If there is a problem in the employment contract, you will be brought in to his professions and a specific job, and you are obligated by the office to do another job not agreed upon in the contract, you can file a complaint in the labor office and leave work without the office having the right to ask you for any sums of money as compensation for the value of the visa expenses

It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that according to the Bahraini Labor Law, this is a violation of the law and the work contract, so you can go to the office of the body of the working forces and submit the complaint (Labor Office) and explain the matter in detail and claim through this body as the law provided the legal protection of wages in the text of article 40:
(a) Wages and other amounts payable to a worker shall be paid in the Bahraini legal tender and an agreement may be reached for payment thereof in a legally available foreign currency.
(b) Wages shall be paid on a working day and at the place of work subject to complying with the following:
1. Wages of workers paid at monthly rates shall be paid at least once a month.
2. If wages are paid on a production basis and where the work requires a period of more than two weeks, a worker shall receive in every week a payment on account appropriate to the completed work and the balance of the wage shall be paid during the week following that in which he received the wage for the amount of work already completed.
3. Notwithstanding the aforesaid two sub-clauses, workers’ wages shall be paid at least once in every week unless there is agreement to the contrary.
4. If the employment relationship is terminated, a worker shall be paid his wage and all the amounts due thereto immediately unless the worker has left his employment of his own initiative, in which case the employer shall pay the worker’s wage and all his entitlements within a period not exceeding 7 days from the date of leaving his job.
(c) Subject to the provisions of the aforesaid Paragraph, if an employer delays the payment of wages to a worker beyond the date of payment, he shall compensate the worker at the rate of 6% per annum for the wage whose payment has been delayed for a period of 6 months or less from the date of entitlement to the wage. Such percentage shall be increased at the rate of 1% for each month’s delay thereafter up to a maximum of 12% per annum in respect of such wage.
** You can also after filing a complaint leave your work with your full employment rights.
You may grant a permission to change the employer without NOC from the sponsor in the event of the violation is proven
Article (106):
A worker may terminate the contract of employment upon giving notice to the employer in any of the following events:
1. Employer’s breach of any material obligation provided for by the law, contract of employment or regulations of work in the establishment.
2. Fraud by the employer or his representative towards the worker with respect to the employment terms and conditions where fraud is of such magnitude without which the contract would not have been concluded.
The worker shall, before giving notice for termination of the contract of employment, request the employer in writing to remove the aforesaid breach or fraud during a period not exceeding 30 days from the date of submitting the request. If such period expires without meeting the worker’s request, he shall be entitled upon giving the aforesaid notice to terminate the contract of employment. Such termination shall be deemed as a termination of the contract without a lawful excuse by the employer if the worker’s claim is proven.

If the complaint and the violation are proven, a request to change the job can be requested without the need for no objection from the employer and with the approval of the workforce, without the need to force you to leave. Thank you
