GCC nationals now free to enter Bahrain with ID cards
Bahrain has announced that GCC nationals will be able to enter the country with just their ID card or passport without pre-arrangements. This comes following the decision of Gulf states to resume the procedure of allowing ID cards as a travelling method.
Bahrain's Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) has announced that all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nationals will now be able to enter Bahrain with their ID cards or passports, without pre-arrangements, reported BNA.
The move follows the decision of GCC countries to resume the procedure of allowing ID cards as a travelling method for their nationals.
The decision will facilitate the travel of Bahrainis to all GCC countries.
It is part of 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 the existing strong bonds of kinship, religion, language and common destiny, it added.
