Our family all have Qatar RP's so do we need to obtain a visa prior to flying to Bahrain for four nights or do we just get our passports stamped on arrival in Bahrain?

Hi kiwiz! it's a good thing that you picked bahrain for your eid holidays. been there for seven years and i like it much better there than here in qatar. well anyways, i took something from the net to answer your question. i think i paid like 15 bahrain dinars in the airport. make sure that you have bahrain dinars to avoid any hassles or delays in the immigration counter. im also planning to spend my eid holidays in bahrain. enjoy!
