Hi everyone,
I've read some discussions related to the topic above, but I'm still a bit confused. Here is our situation: We are an Australian family (me, my wife, and two daughters). I will start working in Saudi Arabia and will obtain a Saudi iqama, as well as Saudi iqamas for my family.
1 - Can I rent a home and register my kids in school in Bahrain based on their Saudi iqamas without having Bahraini residency? or do I need to obtain a Bahraini residency for my family? If so, how do I go about doing that?
2 - Since my family will have Saudi residency, the medical insurance will obviously cover Saudi Arabia. Are you aware of any Saudi insurance company that covers Bahrain geographically within it policy for similar cases? Alternatively, can I purchase a medical insurance in Bahrain for my family if they are Saudi iqama holders but only live in Bahrain (related to question no.1)?
3 - I understand it is easy to travel back and forth across the causeway with a Saudi iqama and a multiple re-entry visa. Are there any issues or concerns with this arrangement?
Thank you for your assistance.
Roy
