Seems like that !

If that's the case , most won't go , because , usually for Saudi Resident entering via Causeway , the visa is free !
OR sometimes 2-5 BD !


But 25 BD    Toooooo much !

Hi, I am very interested in this topic and am trying to make sense of the Bahrain Visa system.
Here is my situation:
I arrived in Bahrain on 6th Sept with intention to work in Saudi. I had a work contract and pre-arranged single entry work visa for Saudi.
I arrived at Manama airport and paid for a two week visa for Bahrain.
Subsequently I entered Saudi and obtained my iqama and multiple exit/re-entry Visa (Saudi)
I now travel to work in Saudi from Bahrain and back every day.
My Bahrain (two week) visa has expired and I have not renewed it or applied for a multiple exit/re-entry Visa (Bahrain) yet I am not asked by customs officials for a Bahrain Visa before entering or exiting Bahrain.
Can someone explain this?

This is indeed interesting, Backta....

Not sure what's happening but from what I can see, since you have a multiple entry visa to Saudi Arabia, you are probably being treated as a resident in Saudi Arabia, which will entitle you to enter Bahrain, via the Causeway, as a visitor. The fact that your original Bahrain visit visa expired would not have any bearing on this.

I know lots of people do the commute to Saudi Arabia and hence hope someone with better understanding of the system will be able to provide a better response than I have.

I am doing the daily commute to Dammam like you. If you have a multiple exit-re-entry in Saudi valid for six months you don't need a visa in Bahrain. However, if you have a causeway booklet to save pages on your passport you need to have a multiple visa for Bahrain. This is very simple. Just take your passport and a printout of your saudi exit re-entry paper to bahrain passports (not the booth but the office) and they will stamp one on your passport. The immigration officers only stamp booklet if you have this visa. Hope this helps.

It's the same fees or "Free" for Saudi Residents entering via Causeway !

The fees will be updated tonight on the E-Visa website of Bahrain  !
For other GCC residents visiting Bahrain from airport , they have to pay 25 BD !

From The Causeway fees remain unchanged

The below image is the new fee structure !

For people commuting from causeway " No change in FEE "
