Hi,

I understand that process of sticking the RP on to the passport has been recently stopped by the government. Can anyone advise if there is still a way to obtain one ? Earlier, it was possible to get this done at the airport while departing. Not sure if this still stands.

Thanks

You cannot get the residency sticker stamped anywhere in Bahrain. Only proof of residence is the residency Certificate. Bahrain.bh - Search for residency Certificate. type in your CPR Number & Passport Number and the certificate will be generated.

Simply put, no sticker anywhere, whether at the airport or at immigration offices. They just stopped this abruptly. And there is chaos when travelling to Bahrain from different destinations as the airline staff is still getting used to this. I landed in Bahrain yesterday and when boarding, I witnessed lots of confusion for people who had the residence print outs (no stickers) - they were asked to show the CPRs in the end. So I guess it is going to be like Saudi in the end (show Iqama and nowadays, show the online record in Absher).
