He added the department of Exits, Search and Follow-up is working in tandem with different government bodies to intensify inspections in an effort to tackle the problem of illegal workers. According to Bahrain's main body that has database of all foreign workers, the Labor Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), there are 52,000 expatriates living in Bahrain without the proper paperwork.
