Hubby is travelling to Saudi (Dhahran) next week with BA and his return flight is out of Bahrain - BA take them there in a limo as it is only 10 mins drive away! Seems strange to me they do a flight in, but not out.

Anyway it just occurred to me about visas, I got his Saudi visa sorted but wondered if he needed one for Bahrain as he will be driven across the border from Saudi. Various websites seem to indicate that you get one at the airport but I am concerned as that is not his point of entry.

Anybody been there and done it?

Thanks!

British Nationals get a 3 month visa on arrival regardless of point of entry. He'll be fine.

The only problem will be going over the causeway into Saudi. If you are using the visa for the first time, you must enter Saudi by air.
