CR Activities Allowing 100% Ownership for EFTA Nationals in Bahrain
Are you looking to establish a Business with 100% Foreign Ownership in Bahrain?
The following comprehensive guide helps you discover business activities that allow full foreign ownership for citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland, tailored to their interests. Whether you’re exploring investment opportunities or ready to establish your business, you’ll find the basic information here to move forward confidently.
To get started, review the following list of business activities to find out which one you are considering and determine whether it qualifies for 100% foreign ownership in Bahrain.
Citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland – the four member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) – qualify for expanded ownership rights in Bahrain under the Bahrain-EFTA Free Trade Agreement, which entered into force in 2014.
The Bahrain-EFTA FTA grants these nationals access to a broader set of business activities than the standard foreigner list, in areas covering services, financial intermediation, and several professional activity categories. The full list is in the table below.
For EFTA nationals, company registration in Bahrain follows the standard process – NPRA security clearance, name reservation through Sijilat, notarised Memorandum of Association, and CR issuance. MOIC applies FTA treatment at the activity selection stage based on the passport nationality used in the registration documents. There is no separate FTA declaration or application.
If you hold citizenship in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland and are considering registering a company in Bahrain, we can confirm whether your target activity falls under the expanded EFTA list before you start. Contact us here or call +973 1311 8811.
