Exit from Saudi Arabia via Bahrain

Get a visa for Bahrain.   Go there, do a Covid test on arrival, self quarantine while waiting for results to come out, get your new work visa stamped, get on a plane and go back.

All of the above is dependent on the fact that your new work visa is being issued from Saudi consulate in Bahrain.  If it is not, then you will have to go back to your home country, get it stamped and come back from there.

Thank You for the info,

If I exit via Bahrain, my family also are required to exit or not? my family are currently here in saudi arabia also.

Okay Sir, I will contact you later. Thank you so much

If it is final exit visa, everyone has to exit.

Thanks,

Sir do you have any Idea what are the procedure to transfer into another company?

What procedure?

You talk to your employer and agree with them to give transfer.   Then your new employer sends a request and old employer approves.   It is straightforward. 

If they don't agree, then you need to go on final exit and come back on a new visa but as I keep telling you, in all likelihood, you won't be able to do it through Bahrain.

Hi. What is the update on your exiting. Because i want to do the same. Please do give me information or any details that could help.

Hi what is the status for expats from South Africa. I want to go home and return but I am not sure about re entry. The GACA announcement said international travel is open and immune or vaccinated traveller's only has to do 7days Quarantine in the country with a negative PCR on entry and on the sixth day. But what about 14 days in another country?

If you are going to one of the 20 countries which are on the ban list and if you are an unvaccinated expat, the 7 days applies ON TOP of 14 days that you have to spend in a 3rd country for quarantine. If you are vaccinated as per Saudi requirements, you skip the 7 days in Saudi but not the 14 outside of Saudi.

Hi, I already got my work visa to Bahrain and I'm currently here in KSA. My new employer is not familiar on the procedure and just told me that I can enter the Causeway anytime. BTW, I'm currently employed and my resignation from my present company is on process now.
1. Can I go to Bahrain once my Exit Visa is issued by my company? any other documents required upon entering the Causeway?
2. Can you suggest transport services from Khobar to Bahrain (one way) preferably pick-up truck?

Did you endorse work visa on your passport?
If yes you can go via causeway.
Currently Bahrain is not allowing via causeway due to lockdown rules.

I'm not sure but they just emailed me a pdf copy of my work visa, then I checked in it LMRA website and it's valid. Is it enough? thanks in advance

The visa endorsement is done from Bahrain embassy in your home country by the travel agent getting visa copy is different,  your passport should have a visa stamped on it then you are eligible for travel.

Check your passport there is a KSA Visa stamped on it  similarly you should have Bahrain visa endorsed in your passport.

You cannot take a pdf visa copy and tell the emigration I have work visa, your PP and visa should be aligned already in the system much before your arrival to Bahrain.

Ok to clarify a few things:

1) Causeway is open for entry into Bahrain.  If you have a visa, you can go to Bahrain.  A print out is fine - the sticker will be put on the passport on entry. 
2) If you are not vaccinated in Saudi with both doses, you would need a PCR test and would need to quarantine upon entry into Bahrain for 10 days with an exit test on the 10th day.  You would need to pay for it

The sticker rule for entry applies to people TRAVELLING from the red list countries and yes, in that case, the print out of the visa won't work.  But you are coming from saudi which is not on the red list.

My situation is the same. My question is, what kind of visa should I secure upon entering Bahrain? Thank you.

You don't secure any visa on entering Bahrain - that is only if your nationality allows for visa on arrival (because with final exit, you will no longer be an Iqama holder).  So apply for any visa in advance.

Good day,I have a final exit visa from Saudi Arabia. I have the approved visit visa through system going to Bahrain,I want to know if i can get out of the saudi arabia via Bahrain causeway or by airline? My approved visit visa from online is enough document going to Bahrain?thank you

If you have a visa for Bahrain, it should be fine.

Via Bahrain causeway is it also fine?thank you

Yes

Yes.  You can do final exit from Saudi via the causeway.
