Bahrain offers facilitation to passengers

Bahrain on Wednesday permitted its citizens as from the first of July to travel to three Gulf states by using personal identity cards or a passport.

An announcement published by the Bahrain's ministry of the Interior to this effect in the local newspapers explained that the citizens can leave the country to Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates and to return back from these states by the use of an identity card or passport.

Last May, Bahrain's Cabinet approved to facilitate the move of the Bahraini citizens with the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.

Worthy mentioning citizens of the GCC member states are currently moving among their six member states by using their passports.
