VISAS

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT AIRCREW ON SHORT TERM FLYING SECONDMENTS (1MONTH) TO THE MIDDLE EAST (NAMELY BAHRAIN) WILL NEED VISAS. IF SO, TO WHOME DO I APPLY.

ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANX

Tarnish,

Best I can find:

<a href="http://www.ukembassy.gov.bh/consular/bahvisa.htm#visarules" target="_blank">http://www.ukembassy.gov.bh/consular/bahvisa.htm#visarules</A>

Seems that 4 weeks(2+2) is maximum stay for "temporary" visa.

I believe that you can also drive a car on a full UK licence for a month, but with an international licence for longer than this.
