Andorra, You need to "re-wind" the tape , a bit, to see what has just happened in Bahrain. A bit odd that anyone would want to go there anyway ! Technically, though, my information is that you cannot get a "Visit" Visa. Only Residents & certain classes (like family members, visiting),other GCC residents (etc) can get in. Hardly surprising under Martial Law, eh ? Much better that the Selection Boys go to the UK or anywhere else where they might have interest in recruiting. Anyway, going to Bahrain yourself, if you could, would surely put you off completely. Just had a couple of friend's "transit" Bahrain on a GF flight. I asked them what it was like and they replied "Well, it all looked a bit millitary." That has got to be the understatement of the year !
