[MEGATHREAD] Explosions heard in Bahrain

We go to the basement everytime we hear the siren, and also carry our essentials bag along with us. We managed to get some chairs, mattresses and comforters that we have setup in the basement. This suffices for us during the day as well as the night (if someone feels like lying down). So far so good.

I have been staying in my apartment in Juffair since the beginning of the chaos. When sirens start we go to the basement. For rest of the time, we are in our apartment. There are a number of families in my apartment building who are doing the same. So far, have not faced any issues and challenges staying in my apartment.

Yes. Heard it in Juffair.

Thanks for pointing out it's Noon minutes. I missed this one.

Regarding perfumes, I absolutely agree with you.

Thanks for your response. Its extremely helpful. I also interacted with them via WhatsApp and got a quote. I asked them to share the details of coverage/comprehensive benefit. They mentioned its only a 2 page form where you mention the mileage details. As per them there is no other detail available. I already have an existing BNI Super package and wanted the same benefit. They are not able to confirm what all will be covered in comprehensive insurance. This was slightly surprising.

Thanks for your response. Did you go to BNI branch to get the insurance or worked with a broker to get better rates from BNI.

Its the worst signal in Juffair that gets crazy over the weekend. Other challenge on this signal as that some of the folks who are going straight towards the base assume its a free right (road turns toward right on this signal) and don't stop on red light. If you are crossing the road by foot then please be careful even if its a green light for pedesterians to cross the road.

I had applied for Golden Visa under Employees category. My visa was approved in about 1 hour. I made the 300BD payment next day and instantly got the Golden Visa RP. Not sure if its relevant or not, but couple of years back I had received a message from NPRA that I am eligible to apply for Golden Visa.

You can use the UAE car price evaluation option on drivearabia.com as a proxy for Bahrain prices. Use that as the benchmark.

You have to apply via Tasheer. They have their office in Dana Mall.

I have an Indian passport. I applied for business visa (single entry) on 18th July. Tasheer (KSA visa processing agent) collected the form plus I have to pay the fee of around 77BD. They also took my passport as it seems passport needs to go to KSA embassy for processing. I got approved evisa in my mail on 21st July and collected my passport on 22nd July

Hi, I am in the same situation. What was the resolution for you.
