People driving between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been issued travel guidance due to heavy traffic on the King Fahd Causeway.
Passengers travelling via King Fahd Causeway in both directions are required to have the required documents and adhere to the regulations enforced by the authorities running the strategic artery.
The King Fahd Causeway Authority (KFCA) made the call due to the high passenger density on the bridge during the Eid Al-Adha, which may impede the flow of the traffic or disrupt the crossing lanes.
Bahrain-Saudi travel Eid Al Adha
Bahraini nationals are required to bring:
- Original ID cards, with a validity of not less than three months, or
- Passport, with a validity of not less than three months
The guidelines were shared by the KFCA in a statement.
Domestic workers accompanying Bahraini nationals should have:
- Valid residence permits
- Valid passports
- Exit and re-entry visas must be obtained
- Medical insurance upon entering Saudi Arabia
Residents wishing to travel between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are to carry:
- Valid residence permit
- Passport, provided that its validity is not less than six months
- Exit and re-entry visa electronically.
All passengers have to carry the documents of the vehicle they are traveling in crossing the causeway.
These include a valid driving license for the driver of the vehicle, a valid vehicle ownership certificate (form), or a certificate of authorisation from the original owner of the vehicle attested by the competent authorities.
The statement also stressed the importance of having a pre-insurance of the vehicle to avoid waiting, in addition to benefiting from the electronic payment services provided through the “Jisr” application.
The application provides digital solutions through integrated and automatic electronic gates that give passengers the ability to pay and cross the toll gates on both sides easily and smoothly without the need to stop for cash payment.
