How can an employee get his dues upon resignation?

Hi! Good Day! I hope everyone is well. I just want to ask something about my situation here in Bahrain. I finished my 2 years' contract here last April 15, 2021. The company where I used to work asked me whether I want to renew my contract, I said yes, but I want to take my 2 months vacation. We had an agreement only verbally, no letters or anything, just verbal agreement. So they renew my visa and I wait for my ticket. But 1 month later, there was no vacation. I waited again, but there is no ticket. So I decided to resign for the 2nd time. My resignation letter is dated September 15, 2021, in which my last day of work is October 16. I waited for my ticket. I stopped working now but I'm still here in Bahrain. Also, they made a new contract but I didn't sign it. Is there anything I can do so I can go back to my country and also get indemnity?
