Minimum monthly income

“not_applicable: the official NPRA family residence permit source (bahrain.bh psID=3001, 'Self-Sponsorship Residence Permit ( Family)') states no numeric monthly income threshold — it lists only document conditions and permit fees ('5 : Application fee (Non-refundable)', '200 : 2 years residence permit', '400 : 5 years residence permit', '600 : 10 years residence permit', '250 : Transfer fee'). The closely related NPRA route for relatives of a Bahraini (esID=916) requires only 'The applicant mush have a sufficient source of income to support himself and the foreigner' with no figure. The numeric 'BD 400 or more' monthly net income appears only on the separate LMRA spouse/children service (psID=1170), not this parents route.”
