Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi citizens will be allowed to travel to Bahrain if they are older than 18 years old and their health status on the Tawakkalna application is either immunised, completely vaccinated against COVID-19, or recovered.

The conditions do not apply to those vaccinated with a single dose, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) cited an official source at the Ministry of Interior.

The citizens authorised to travel are also those holding a diplomatic visa, diplomats and their escorts, official delegations, air navigation crews, marine crews, truck drivers and their assistants, and those involved in health supply chains.

This step came in line with lifting the suspension of citizens' travel outside Saudi Arabia.

Airports across Saudi Arabia started to operate international flights today after the hiatus, with King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh witnessing the take-off of the first trips to Sarajevo International Airport in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
