Bahrain launches a digital renewal service for building permits on "Benayat," simplifying the process and boosting investor appeal.
Bahrain recently introduced a new one-year renewal service for building permits. This initiative, led by His Excellency Engineer Wael bin Nasser Al Mubarak, Minister of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, aims to streamline the process for investors and stakeholders in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The service is now available on the "Benayat" electronic system. It allows users to renew their permits online before they expire.
EASY PERMT RENEWALS VIA ENGINEERING OFFICES
Users can renew their building permits directly through their engineering offices. This setup removes the need to visit government offices in person. The new system helps simplify and speed up the permit renewal process. It reflects the ministry’s goal to boost efficiency and create a more attractive investment environment in Bahrain.
ENHANCING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN BAHRAINI REAL ESTATE
Bahrain's Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture is working closely with engineering offices. They aim to provide strong support for efficient service delivery. The new system aligns with Bahrain’s digital transformation goals. This system offers an electronic option for building permit renewals. It helps investors and citizens manage transactions more easily.
This digital transformation initiative also increases transparency. It allows people to complete government processes smoothly. So users can now rely on this system for faster service.
SUPPORT FROM THE INFORMATION & EGOVERNMENT AUTHORITY
Mr. Mohammed Ali Al Qaed, Chief Executive of the Information & eGovernment Authority, praised these efforts. He emphasised how this step aligns with government policies. The Ministerial Committee for Information and Communication Technology supports this initiative. Their goal is to improve digital services for citizens and residents alike.
Al Qaed also highlighted the collaboration between the ministry and the authority. He mentioned how this partnership strengthens Bahrain's information infrastructure. This infrastructure is vital for the real estate and investment sectors.
FULLY AUTOMATED SERVICE PROCEDURE
The building permit renewal service in Bahrain is now fully automated. The ministry has achieved this by redesigning existing procedures to simplify the process. Now, users no longer need physical documents or extra approvals. They can extend their building permit’s validity for one year with just a few clicks.
This update benefits Bahrain's real estate sector. Property owners, investors, and engineering offices experience fewer hurdles. The faster process creates a smoother experience for everyone involved.
THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE "BENAYAT" SYSTEM
The "Benayat" system is an advanced governmental platform that connects various government and private entities. Such connectivity enables engineering offices, property owners, and developers to complete building permit transactions online.
Through "Benayat," users can complete transactions in as little as two days. The speed and efficiency of the system add value to the real estate and construction sectors in Bahrain. This efficiency will further encourage more investment in the kingdom.
A POSITIVE STEP FOR BAHRAIN'S REAL ESTATE SECTOR
The launch of Bahrain’s digital building permit renewal service shows commitment to an investor-friendly environment. By simplifying the permit process, Bahrain supports a more efficient real estate market. It also adds to the transparency of property transactions.
Through "Benayat," Bahrain cements its position as an attractive investment location. Moving to enhance the user experience is not the only goal it serves though. It moves in line with Bahrain's goals for digital transformation and economic growth in real estate too.
