Hi
I m expat resident in bahrain with Ksa 1 yr multiple entry family visit visa. Can I enter saudi via causeway the first time? Or does it have to be via air?

Also can expat visitor women drive to Ksa via causeway in the car registered under their own name from #bahrain ?

Thank you for your help!

To keep it very simple, right now, the causeway is only for vaccinated travelers. So unless you have not completed all doses of KSA approved vaccines, you won't be allowed to travel via the causeway. And Sinopharm / Sputnik are not currently approved by Saudi.

Excluding that, if your visa says, in arabic "Maftuh", you can travel via road. That means mode of travel is open. If it says "Ju" then it is only via air.
