To all,
I am having a slight concern with my company in Saudi. I'll try to keep this brief.
I am British and my wife is Thai. We live and work in Saudi and have been here for 6 years. We are moving to Bahrain next month. I already have a 5 year exit entry visa for Bahrain and both my wife and I have multiple exit entry visas for Saudi and iqamas.
The visa agent I am using in Bahrain is asking for certain documents to be able to obtain a two year visit visa for my wife in Bahrain. At the moment I am having a slight issue with the CR, but if that resolves itself the question I am asking for advice on here becomes moot, but, I need to know I have a backup plan.
I am thinking of applying for a one year visit visa online through http://www.evisa.gov.bh/. This would, as I understand, allow my wife to live in Bahrain in our apartment for 90 days.
After this period, the details become unclear.
Will we be able to do a 'turnaround' on the causeway and reenter Bahrain for another 90 days? If this is possible, then essentially, we'd only need to do this 3 times a year to allow her to stay for one year.
My concern is that on the application it asks for a return ticket to the country of origin. Not a problem I guess, but do you put the return date as one year from the first date of entry to Bahrain, or 3 months after the date of entry and then just move the date to later in the year once you've arrived?
I know someone asked a similar question recently, but there's been no response on that thread, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows anything?
Regardless of what happens with my case, I'll keep people updated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
