Just want to share with everyone the recent experience by my family members wishing to visit us in Bahrain for few days in December.
So my Brother applied for visit eVisa online, for himself, his wife and daughter. The visa of his wife and daughter got approved in 2 days, but his visa got rejected (even though the documents were complete and in order, i.e. passport, confirmed return ticket, hotel reservation and bank statement).
Alongside, my sister also applied for the visa for herself, her husband and 2 kids. Same case here. Her visa and children visa got approved in 2 days but her husband's visa got rejected. All documents were complete and in order.
Not sure how the visa processing officer looked at these applications. Approved for females and kids, and rejected for male members of family, knowing that the families might not be able to travel without their heads of family. Kind of weird.
Did anyone else faced the same issue? If so, how did you tackle it? Anyway, I will try to contact some agent to sort it out. Otherwise travel plans will have to be changed.
