Saudi: King Fahd Causeway updates travel procedures of Saudis
The King Fahd Causeway Authority (KFCA) has announced that it has updated the travelling procedures for Saudi citizens who are wishing to travel to Bahrain from Saudi Arabia through the causeway.
KFCA clarified that if adults want to travel to Bahrain by crossing the causeway, they must complete receiving three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (two doses and a booster dose). The duration of the requirement to take the booster dose (third dose) for adults has been modified to be 8 months instead of 3 months after receiving the second dose.
As for the travel conditions for the age group less than 16 years old, the KFCA said that they must complete receiving two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. While the travel age group for those under 12 years old is required to issue an insurance policy against coronavirus, noting that the age must be calculated by the Hijri date.
KFCA indicated that the insurance company (Tawuniya) is the currently approved entity according to the Health Insurance Council (CCHI).
