LMRA Conducts Over 1,100 Inspections Between August 10-16,2025

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has announced the results of an intensive inspection period, conducting 1,112 inspection campaigns and visits between August 10th and 16th, 2025. The operations resulted in the detention of six irregular workers and the deportation of 103 violators.

The campaigns were carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA), as well as the respective Police Directorates and the Social Insurance Organization.

The inspections aimed to enforce labor and residency laws in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Legal measures have been taken against all individuals and establishments found to be in violation.

Of the total inspections, 1,100 were visits to various shops across all governorates, in addition to 12 joint inspection campaigns. These joint efforts included:

• 3 campaigns in the Muharraq Governorate
• 6 campaigns in the Northern Governorate
• 3 campaigns in the Southern Governorate

The LMRA affirmed its commitment to continuous coordination with government agencies to intensify inspection campaigns throughout the Kingdom. This ongoing effort is part of a strategy to address any practices that negatively impact the stability and competitiveness of Bahrain’s labour market, as well as its economic and social security.

The Authority also renewed its call to the public to report any illegal labor practices. Violations can be reported through the electronic form on the LMRA’s official website, www.lmra.gov.bh, by calling the authority’s call center at 17506055, or via the government’s Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul).
