Read what he is asking.聽聽Tourist visa and a 5 year visa are different things - 5 year visa comes with a paper CPR number i.e. you are not a resident but because of a paper CPR, you are also not a visitor.聽聽There are exceptions e.g. :

1) Paper CPR holders with 5 year visas
2) When the spouse is a Bahraini citizen
3) When one party to the marriage is resident and the other is a visitor - permission from Ministry of Justice and facilitated by the relevant Embassy
