The Bahraini Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) announced on Friday the decision to allow all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nationals to enter Bahrain with their ID cards or passports, without pre-arrangements. The move follows the decision of GCC countries to resume the procedure of allowing ID cards as a travelling method for their nationals. The decision will facilitate the travel of Bahrainis to all GCC countries. It is part of the facilities provided for GCC nationals in order to ease travel procedures for them and ensure their interests and those of their families, as a result of the existing strong bonds of kinship, religion, language and common destiny. — BNA
