I know that Saudi iqama holders can go to Bahrain without a visa via causeway and corona PCR is not required for entry. Is it required for entry into KSA from Bahrain.? I want to know if someone is going to Bahrain for just a few hours and coming back the same day, do they need any Corona PCR test in such a case?

Saudi to Bahrain - No PCR if you are fully vaccinated.

Bahrain to Saudi - PCR is a must for return for all expats.  Doesn't matter if you are going for an hour or a day.  And you have to do the test in Bahrain.  Up till Feb 2021, you could do a free Sehatty test in Saudi and come back on the same one.  Not anymore.

Thanks, what if we do the pcr from a private hospital in Saudi Arabia and come back using same test next day. It will be with in  72 hrs. Will that be permissible?
