Hi everyone, thank you for always sharing your info here!

I have some questions.

I am leaving my current company, where I have worked for less than a year, and starting my own company in the IT industry. My current employment visa expires on August 22. I am using an agent to set up my company(I didn't know it's not recommended here tbh).

Condition:

• I already live in Bahrain.
• I have a bank account here and a 6 months bank statement.
• I have a CPR card.
• I don't have NOC from my current employer.
• My wife lives here with a dependent visa.

My concern is that the company's establishment and the visa issuance for me and my wife will not be completed within the 30 days Grace Period. Since my current employer did not give me a NOC, I can only start the company formation and visa process on the 23rd (I have already paid half of the fee to the agent, and they have begun the security clearance and other formalities).

I understand that to extend the Grace Period, and I need to submit the information of my next employer (in my case, my company) to the NPRA or LMRA(?).

I don't think the process of establishing a company and issuing visas for both of us will be completed within 30 days, so I would like to go to the NPRA immediately after the 23rd to extend our Grace Period, but if I am preparing to start a business and have not completed the establishment of my company, (1) can I still extend my Grace Period?

Also, in a past post by Mr. XTang, he said that if I have not renewed my CPR when I leave the company, my CPR is tied to my previous employer, and I need to submit a NOC to MOIC even if my visa is canceled. (2) To avoid this, should I renew my CPR before my visa expires?

It would be very helpful if you could help me with these. Thanks!
