Iqama at the Bahrain bridge border by iamthere

I was told I need to have my original iqama at the Bahrain border and I was told it was illegal for me to leave the country with my iqama. Which is correct?

lorenzo d'arabia

For Bahrain you don't need to show your original Iqama! A copy of your Iqama is enough, I am living in Khobar since more than 2 years and I go every weekend to Bahrain! For Dubai and Qatar yes is true, u have to show your original Iqama! Read More
