As a first step, she should go to the Philippines embassy in Bahrain. They have officers there who handle these kind of cases all the time.

It will be best for your fianc茅 to get a visit visa for you before you travel. Much safer and easier that way. Otherwise you will have to get a visit visa through a reputed hotel or travel agent.

Just out of curiosity, is your "fianc茅" also a Filipino? Or is he of another nationality. No need to respond to this question if you don't want to, but we may be able to advise you better if we knew this.

Dear rhem,

yes you would need a visa to come into Bahrain, the best option would be is for you to ask your employer you could arrange a visa for you and to travel to bahrain yes there are bus services available this link can give you more information regarding the same.

good luck!

In addition to Iqama, you will need to have an entry / exit visa and also your passport. Some companies in Saudi hold Expats' passports on file and release upon request.

Yes you will need a visa to enter Bahrain, your business visit visa is valid only to enter/exit Saudi Arabia and i believe the enter-exit visa to Bahrain can be applied by Saudi Iqama holders only (resident visa holders). You may want to visit the below mentioned site to check whether your eligible for Visit visa to Bahrain.

Good luck.

The new visa regulations state that those having GCC Visit Visa can apply online for Bahrain Visas !

Also as you're a Pakistani national you can get evisa easily by applying online !

Yes you can, but just check the car you will be driving, if it's not in your name or if the sponsor won't allow you to take it with you then you can't cross over through causeway. Other way is to rent a car and reach Bahrain
Good luck

Dear Zain adnan,

unfortunately no, with a visit visa for Saudi arabia you cannot enter Bahrain. You will need a entry-exit visa, may be you could request your employer to give apply for one, and you could pay for it.

good luck

And in addition to what logicalIndian has stated above, there are a few other matters you should consider:

1) your grandmother will need another visa to re-enter Saudi Arabia, once she leaves the country.
2) she may not be able to exit Saudi Arabia via the Causeway, if she entered Saudi Arabia via an airport - not sure about this, so please check with a SaudI Arabia expert.

hi,

They may ask you for the iqama at the border (immigration's), if you don't have it then they may not allow you into Bahrain, so to be on the safer side i think you should carry it with you.

no you don't need your iqama. In fact, it's supposedly illegal to take it out of the country. Many companies illegally hold the iqama when you have your passport and so it is impossible for many contractors to have both when they cross the border. I've been across the causeway hundreds of times and only once was my passenger (not me!) asked for an iqama. They didn't have it and said that their company had it and that was the end of it. We carried on.

logicalIndian - I assume you have no experience of yourself or anyone you know being prevented from crossing without an iqama.

I should add that this is different for the border with Qatar where we were held up because one of our party didn't have an iqama on her. They eventually allowed us through as her husband was with us and both held passports.

Hi,

It is recommended that you have the original, i have heard sometimes they dont ask it at the border, but what if the ask? it may be a risk you will have to take
