By
resolution of the Arab League, no Arab State recognises the validity
of a passport containing Israeli stamps. Visas are not required by GCC passport
holders.
Passport holders from the following countries: Andorra, Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Holland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia,
Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, the USA and the Vatican
City can
obtain a two week visa on arrival at Bahrain International Airport at
a cost of BD5 (US$13).
These visas can be extended by the organisers at the Exhibition Centre
subject to approval by the Bahraini authorities. Exhibitors should ensure
that they carry a letter of authority from their company referring to
the exhibition plus onward or return air tickets.
Passport holders from countries not listed above are requested to complete the Visa Application Form and return it to Arabian Exhibition Management together with clear copies of relevant passport pages by 1 January 2009.
A charge of BD21 (US$56) is payable in advance and is listed in the application form. The organisers cannot be held responsible for any visitor who fails to obtain a visa as they are issued entirely at the discretion of the Bahraini authorities.
