Practical advice on living in Bahrain with no job or husband!

Hi. Your fella will get a paper cpr for Bahrain once he gets his Saudi Iqama. He might be able to get a HSBC bank account here once he opens a SAAB one in Saudi. HSBC are big here. You will not be allowed an account.  You will have to be here on a visit visa and fly out every 6 months.  A villa can be rented on your passport only. You normally have to pay 3 months rent in advance.  Don't pay more as some landlords are not good. My husband only comes home at weekends,  it's common here.

You will be fine on all points you questioned

Thanks so much for your advice, at least I know it's going to be doable!

I may (hopefullyY be back with more questions but need to curb my impatience till he's been out to Saudi. Trouble is we need to now the logistics are workable or there is no point - but then I start to get all excited which is not good!

Now, if someone could arrange to turn the heat down about 15 degrees in a month's time when he comes out to visit please........

Ha ha. Nottingham to Bahrain is going to be a shock but you will love it here. A lot of wives spend the week alone while husband/partner is away. He is best doing a preview tour of Bahrain and not Saudi as neither of you will be living there. All will be fine :-)
