Bahrain visa
Not really USA related but seeing as you lot are the font of all knowledge and a well travelled bunch, it seemed a good place to ask!
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!

Re: Bahrain visa
Just a thought...but there's a ME section here at BE and it'll be a better place to ask the question, though worth a search as I know it's been asked earlier in the summer, but I can't remember what the answer was, but you might be able to find it.

Re: Bahrain visa
I would refer you to the FCO website which states that there could be a change coming as far as visa requirements for British Citizens for arriving in Bahrain. They should be issuing visas on arrival however there have been reports of long delays.
