Blacklisted checking page 3 - Bahrain forum

I have been getting dozens of private messages on this topic. So for one last time, let me clarify for everyone and hope (which is misplaced I guess) that they will bother to read instead of asking the same question again and again. First of all, try and understand the difference between a blacklist and travel bans . Travel bans are court ordered and can be checked on bahrain.bh . These are ordered by court to immigration and once removed, immigration does NOT enforce them anymore. You owe someone money, didn't pay, went to court, you lost and still didn't pay...........it goes to execution court and then travel ban. Blacklists are NOT published and even though you may approach immigration with your passport details, they may NOT confirm or deny that you are on one . The only way to know for sure is to apply for a visa. Blacklists are created for many reasons but primarily have to do with your past history in the country (crime, illegal activity or overstays). And even if you are taken off them, it does not mean that you will get a visa.............in fact, in most cases you won't. Because while you are on that list, it says to immigration "NEVER let this person in" but when you are off it, just because of the fact that you were once on it, it says to immigration "This person is no longer on a blacklist so you can let him in IF YOU DON'T THINK HE IS A RISK"............and in majority of the cases, no immigration officer wants to take a risk by letting you in. Simple human psychology. To explain this in a simple way with a bad example: You go to a club regularly and every time you get drunk & loud. One day, you get involved in a fight and as a result, you get banned from the club. It is proved that the fight was not your fault. You are unbanned but the club still never lets you in. Why? because with your behavior, you are a walking time bomb which attracts trouble and no one wants that around. It is the same here................bad judgement / behavior can lead to long lasting implications when it comes to visas all around the world - many countries will not give you a visit visa even if you have even a minor felony. Now the different types of cases: 1) If you have been deported from Bahrain, the chances of you every coming back or getting another visa are close to zero. It is absolute zero if it was a criminal case and on top of that, it may spoil your chances in other GCC countries as well if it was a serious case. There is NO way of getting this overturned short of knowing some very senior people at the top of the government who can act on your behalf (Status can be checked with immigration using passport details) 2) If you had a legal case or difficulties without getting deported but still ended up on a blacklist. Again the chances are limited because, first, you will have to pay the lawyers to settle all these cases and get the record removed. After that, there is NO guarantee that immigration won't reject your visa. This is because immigration acts on the basis of doubt and they don't have to justify their refusal to ANYONE (Status can be checked in the first case with immigration but once removed from blacklist, no point in checking if refused as refusal is not on the basis of blacklist) 3) If you overstayed then your chances can vary. If the overstay period was long e.g. years........and you left on your own after paying fines, chances are again, close to zero. If it was short, then again, the chances are not great. The only way out in both of these cases, depends on your employer i.e. how much of an effort they make with immigration to get you a visa and how influential they are in that (big company, lots of employees, connection with chamber of commerce etc). (Status cannot be checked with immigration as you are NOT on a blacklist...........its just because that you overstayed that your name is flagged as a risk.............and will always remain as a risk..........never to be removed) Hope it is clear now so please stop sending me private messages with the same question again and again.

I don't think you get where immigration is coming from.聽 You are legally clear from prosecution or arrest. But that doesn't mean that immigration has to clear you off their list.聽 In fact, immigration has total discretion to decide who to let in or not. Good luck but it may not happen.
