Hi,
My visa has been extended but it has not been stamped on my passport. Can I travel out of Bahrain?

Travelling out of Bahrain is not the issue as in immigration system, your visa would be showing as valid. In Bahrain, if you pay attention at the counter when you enter or exit, they actually never look at the visa stamp; just enter passport number into system and place the stamp.

The problem would be when you are wanting to come back to Bahrain. Your country immigration staff would not let you exit unless you show them that you have a valid visa for Bahrain. And without the stamped visa on passport, there is no way to prove that you have one.
