On Bahrain side, yes.  But Saudi immigration will not let you exit Saudi without showing them a visa.  They have been tough ever since the causeway opened back in Sep 2020.

So what's the latest about causeway ? Is it open ? And who is allowed to travel ?

XTang

Causeway is open.  I am travelling every week but then, I have a Saudi Iqama and Bahrain residence both.

As far as I know, Saudi immigration continues to give problems off and on for expats wanting to go to Bahrain.  So it depends on your luck.  Nothing is put clearly in policy.

If you are travelling everyweek . How about the PCR tests ?

XTang

Of course you have to do the PCR tests.   

Entering Saudi, do a test in Bahrain within 72 hours.   After you enter, do a test in Saudi after 48 hours.  On the way back to Bahrain, do a test within 72 hours.

So once you arrive in Bahrain will you undergo testing again ? Currently people arriving at airport have to do 3 test

XTang

Not via the causeway if you have already done a test in Saudi within last 72 hours.

Ok suppose you go to Saudia for 1 day only say 24 or 30 hours . In that case what's the scenario ?

XTang

Turn around and go back within 8 hours.   Otherwise you have to set location on the Tawakkalna app for isolation.

For me it's like I want to travel on weekend to Saudi . So as I have understood I will make a PCR test first in Bahrain but my stay in Saudi will be only 30-40 hours so should I get a test done in Saudi as well & carry the result while returning to Bahrain ?

XTang

To be on the safe side, yes.

I got 2 week Bahrain visa in causeway. Is there a way I can check Bahrain visa validity? The passport stamp only shows Bahrain entry date. Thanks.

XTang

The receipt slip shows the validity usually.   Take a look at that.  Otherwise, go onto bahrain.bh and try to extend the visa - maybe it will show current validity.

dluxarun

Since it was free, no slip was issued. However, on bahrain.bh, I tried as suggested by you and it shows visa number and validity date. Thanks so much.

XTang

Good!

Hi
Can you please explain further or provide the link for visa validity on Bahrain.bh,  I also have causeway visa without slip & don't know how to check validity.

XTang

Go to bahrain.bh and look for an option to extend visa.
