He doesn't need to go to Philippines to come to Bahrain.

As long as he has a visa for Bahrain, then yes he can. But he may have to come to Bahrain via the airport instead of the causeway.

You're welcome. Getting the visa might be a time consuming process so you better start the application as early as possible to prevent any potential delays.

A visit visa can be got at Bahrain airport so I can't see the problem. Fly from Saudi to here and job done. It is only for a short period of time though on a visit visa as you know

A visit visa cannot be obtained at the airport if you have a Philippines passport I am afraid. A visit visa can only be obtained at the airport by the citizens of certain countries.

You can apply for a visit visa now. I dont think its necessary for him to go back to his country of origin before you apply for a visit visa. And as brightonguy said, your cousin will have to arrive by air.
