Can I go to Bahrain with Saudi iqama?

Yes, you can travel to Bahrain with a Saudi Iqama. Holders of a Saudi Iqama are permitted to enter Bahrain without a visa or can obtain a visa on arrival when traveling to Bahrain, whether by air or via the King Fahd Causeway. Saudi residents with a valid Iqama can access Bahrain under specific visa arrangements, which typically involve applying for a visa on arrival or an eVisa, depending on their nationality.

• Visa on Arrival: Saudi residents, including those holding an Iqama, can often obtain a visa on arrival at Bahrain’s international airports. This visa is typically valid for a short stay, up to 14 days. The exact conditions can vary, so it’s crucial to check current regulations before traveling.
• eVisa: Alternatively, you can apply for an eVisa online. This process involves filling out an application form and providing necessary documents, such as a passport copy and a recent photograph. The eVisa is a convenient option that can save time at the border.

In both cases, your Iqama should be valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry into Bahrain. Additionally, you may need to show proof of onward travel and sufficient funds for your stay.

It’s always a good idea to consult the latest travel advisories and visa requirements from the Global Visa Corp website or your local Bahraini embassy to ensure you meet all entry conditions.
