Bahrain gains visa-free entry to China in global mobility shift
TDT | Manama Bahrain has been added to China's visa-free list in a move that strengthens the Kingdom's global mobility and reflects broader gains by Gulf passports. The announcement was made in the latest Henley Passport Index report, which highlights growing international openness and strategic diplomacy shaping the future of travel. Bahrain joins its GCC neighbours, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, on the list of countries whose citizens can now enter China without a prior visa. The development means that all six Gulf Cooperation Council countries now enjoy visa-free access to the world's second-largest economy. Gulf gains The July 2025 report underscores a broader shift in the global mobility landscape. Asian nations now dominate the top of the index, with Singapore, Japan, and South Korea leading the way. At the same time, Gulf countries are strengthening their global reach through reciprocal visa agreements and growing diplomatic engagement. Bahrain's inclusion in China's visa-free list reflects this rising Gulf momentum. The development comes as part of a broader regional pattern in which countries within the GCC are actively negotiating new mobility corridors and benefiting from deeper international cooperation. Saudi Arabia made the largest gain in visa-free access among GCC countries in 2025, adding four new destinations and rising four places on the index to reach 54th. This progress reflects Riyadh's push to broaden international partnerships and diversify its global footprint. The UAE remains a standout, having climbed 34 positions over the past decade. It moved from 42nd to 8th place, making it the only major riser to break into the index's top 10. This long-term leap is attributed to sustained visa diplomacy and rapid international outreach. Diplomatic dividends The visa waiver is part of China's broader openness strategy, which has expanded visa-free access from fewer than 20 countries five years ago to 75 nations in 2025. Analysts say China's decision to open its borders to GCC countries reflects growing economic and political alignment with the Gulf. While Bahrain's exact ranking was not disclosed in the report, its inclusion in China's visa-free policy marks a strategic milestone for the Kingdom. The expansion of visa-free corridors is increasingly seen as a measure of a nation's diplomatic weight and international relevance. Bahrain's growing access to major markets like China offers new opportunities for business, tourism, and cultural exchange. It marks a positive step in the Kingdom's international engagement. Top rankings shift According to the index, Singapore now holds the world's most powerful passport, with visa-free access to 193 destinations. Japan and South Korea follow in joint second place, each granting access to 190 destinations. A strong European contingent shares third place, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Finland, and Ireland, all with access to 189 destinations. The UK and US continue their long-term decline. The UK is now ranked sixth with access to 186 countries, while the US has dropped to tenth place with 182 destinations. The report notes that the US is on the verge of exiting the top ten for the first time in the index's 20-year history. India recorded the largest jump over the past six months, rising eight places from 85th to 77th. China, meanwhile, has climbed 34 ranks over the past decade to reach 60th, driven by its growing visa reciprocity and global connectivity strategy. Asia-Pacific surges The Asia-Pacific region continues to power global mobility trends. Alongside Singapore's rise to the top, China's expanding openness and regional partnerships are fuelling higher rankings across the continent. This momentum, combined with the steady climb of Gulf nations, reflects a shift in global mobility where proactive diplomacy and regional cooperation increasingly shape access and influence.

Soaring temperatures bring surge in summer pest infestations
Rising summer temperatures have once again triggered a spike in insect infestations across the Kingdom, causing concern among households and raising fresh alarms over hygiene and public health. Pest control expert Khalid Al Borshaid has warned that the current heat and humidity provide ideal conditions for several invasive species, including American and German cockroaches, bedbugs, crickets, ants, and even venomous centipedes. 'Bedbugs are particularly on the rise, often hitching rides in luggage and clothing during the travel season,' he said. 'They easily move undetected between airports, hotels, and homes.' Fruit flies have also returned in large numbers and are frequently found in crates of imported produce. Al Borshaid cautioned against bringing such crates indoors — particularly those from certain Asian countries — as they may harbour hard-to-eliminate pests. Ticks remain a persistent issue in homes with pets, such as cats, dogs, or birds. Spiders and the venomous centipede known locally as Um 44 are also being reported more frequently in rural and agricultural areas. Among the most common household pests this season are tiny ants, which often infiltrate homes through neglected or poorly sealed drainage pipes. Al Borshaid urged residents to disinfect kitchen and bathroom drains at the start of the season using approved insecticides or safe alternatives. 'Regular cleaning and disinfection of drains can prevent infestations before they start,' he advised. Travel tips and safety precautions For returning travellers, he recommended washing clothing in hot water and disinfecting luggage, as insect eggs can cling to fabric and go unnoticed. 'Hot water is especially effective in killing pests and their eggs,' he noted. He also stressed the importance of ventilating homes after using pesticides — even if the product is labelled odourless. Spraying should never be done in bedrooms, on beds, or in children's rooms, as these areas are particularly vulnerable to chemical residues. Additional precautions include: • Removing standing water from courtyards and flowerpots • Storing food in tightly sealed containers • Regularly cleaning kitchen surfaces and floors • Installing mesh screens on windows • Sealing any cracks in walls or around pipes to prevent pest entry Al Borshaid concluded with a reminder that effective pest prevention begins at home. 'The daily habits of residents are the strongest line of defence against summer pests,' he said.
