What are some examples of adequate ties to?
The Consular Officer considers factors including, but not limited to, your job, family and financial circumstances. “Ties” are the various aspects of your life that bind you to the place of permanent residence such as your possessions, employment and social and family relationships. In the case of a younger applicant who may not have had an opportunity to establish such ties, an Officer may look at his/her specific intentions, family relations, educational status, grades and long-term plans and prospects in Bahrain. As each person’s situation is different, there is no one answer as to what constitutes sufficient ties. For example, one person may have a thriving business in which s/he would be unlikely to abandon, while another may have close and convincing ties to a house, family or promising career.
