BA to Gulf Air

Hi sorry this may be a really silly question, but we're flying in to Istanbul on Thursday evening on BA from London and then transferring to Gulf Air to Bahrain (2 separate booking). Is it possible to go through the transit route, if we have hand baggage only and checked in online with printed boarding passes? Or is this only for connecting pax on the same booking?

If it's necessary to go through immigration and and come back in again - does anyone know what waiting times are typically like at to get through immigration and then get back through security at around midnight? It's been a while since i was at IST.

Many thanks, Nick
