GCC nationals can now visit Bahrain with just ID cards

  • The move follows the decision of GCC countries to resume the procedure of allowing ID cards as a travel document
  • This decision is in line with the facilities provided for GCC nationals in order to ease travel procedures for them and ensure their interests and those of their families

Bahrain will permit nationals of the Gulf Cooperation Council to enter into the kingdom with just an identity card or a passport, according to the Bahraini Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA).

A statement carried by Bahrain News Agency (BNA) said the move follows the decision of GCC countries to resume the procedure of allowing ID cards as a traveling method. The decision will also facilitate the travel of Bahrainis to all GCC countries.

This decision is in line with the facilities provided for GCC nationals in order to ease travel procedures for them and ensure their interests and those of their families, as a result of existing bonds of kinship, religion, language and common destiny.
