Brother i am from Pakistan, working in Jeddah. i have planing to visit Bahrain at Eid holidays  (13-Aug-2018) But now days i listening a news that all new visa for all Pakistani they stopped.

can any body give me some updates about ban finish or not yet because i want to make reentry exit for my family.

if thay still ban for all new Pakistani national then no need to long drive (14 to 18 Hours). because i want to drive from Jeddah to Bahrain.

I have already explained it above.  Officially there is no ban.  Hence, no official word on when it would be lifted.

As a Saudi iqama holder, you will get visas on arrival in Bahrain.  There is no issue in those visas.  My driver who is a Saudi Iqama holder gets this every weekend in Bahrain when we travel back and forth.

The only visas that seem to be affected are new work and visit visa which require applications.

Thank u for ur giving me good in formation. Actually 1st time i am traveling with my family from jeddah to Bahrain .its a new experience for me so that's y i am worried.

Now its clear.

Thanks again

Any update on the issuance of new visas??

No.  Same lack of clarity.

If some one want to visit from Kuwait? Is they are issuing evisa? Or still on hold

For women, generally, the visas are not a problem.  If you are a GCC resident, you can still get it on arrival.

But for that also he have to apply or he can get without applying at evisa

Main work visa holder is eligible for visa on arrival.  Dependents if accompanying him, are also eligible for visa on arrival.

Thanks a lot . If thr is any update about ban plzz update I will be very thankful to you

If there is, will update but as I have repeatedly said, there is nothing official suggesting that there is a ban.  So the update will be anecdotal based on people's experiences.

They should clear that Pakistanis can get new Visa or not ? I don’t know why they are afraid to give clear notification or picture.

I request to New Govt of Pakistan to intervene in the matter

A work visa for a friend of mine got rejected today after being on hold since 7 July. Yesterday the status updated to "Await GDNPR" and today it says "rejected" "visa expired".

Me also same thing happened with us

Is it same case for dependent visa?

Same thing happened with me, My work visa was canceled on 7 July
I have a grace period to do a transfer within 30 days ( till 7 Aug )
New visa was applied on 17 july
1 of Aug Visa was rejected
When reason asked from GDNPRA, they said no reason.
BUT MINE IS LOCAL TRANSFER. They said even though, no new visa.
Called Pakistan Embassy, they said we are still working on it
Question is in this situation should i stay over stay in  BAHRAIN <, Or leave .
I have a car, house over here, since 3 years. My new employer said he will extend the grace period and reapply again. But what should i do , really confused , I dont know till when this situation will go on.

And Yes its same for dependent VISA, No new application is being entertained, ,if you are  extending the time period of the VISA, that is OK, But if u wanna apply for your wife, please wait till the situation get sorted out

Sad to hear.

I think this question might help to others.

Is there anyone who's new visa or dependent visa has been issued after 13th july? Kindly share your information with us. Atleast your information can bring hope to us.

Few days back I sent email to NPRA asking about any kind of ban on Pakistani passport holders. They refused with nothing any kind of ban.

Apparently mine is in process for the past two days so I am very confused

They have updated my new employment meaning the new company details and everything.

I came across a post on facebook where people shared their experiences on issuing visa.

In few comments people shared their visas has been issued after 15 july.

I just wish that the Visa issue get resolved lickety-split for everyone .

But unfortunately the problem still persists as my Brother's E-Visit Visa got rejected couple of times after 15th July.

I have spoken to a representative from Pakistani Embassy. They are in talk with Bahrain government authorities and hopefully they will find a solution post-haste, InshaAllah.

Brother Link is Not Opening

Today I visited NPRA and they said that all types of visas are on hold for Pakistan.

When I first posted about this topic; a few days later, the Pakistan Embassy denied that there was a problem.  This was put in the newspapers as well.   And people were saying that this ban news was false because the Embassy denied it.

My only point then was about the credibility of the source i.e. the Embassy.  Events have proved just how credible they are in their statements - unfortunately

So what do you think how much time it may take to resolve the issue??

I have no idea but generally things progress slowly in these cases.   My estimate would be at least 2-3 months from when it started i.e. by Nov.  Unless of course, the new Pakistan government pushes as part of a relationship building exercise.

Today, I called Pakistani embassy in Bahrain. Now they are confirming that new visas are put on hold.

They don't know when the situation is going to clear.

What About GCC Visa Holder also on hold  ?  ? ?

What do you mean GCC visa holder?   if you are a GCC visa holder, you can get visa on arrival in Bahrain for visit.   If you apply for a work visa, then it will still be on hold.

And I already answered your question previously in the thread above so don't repeat.

My visa was processed while lots of talk was going on of visa ban

But now my family visa is in process and am scared will it be accepted or rejected

How long does it take for dependant visa any idea ? Same process or it takes more than a work visa ?

Pls let us know whatever the results comes.
