What are the Bahrain visa requirements for Filipino citizens?
Filipino citizens need a visa for Bahrain, and the Philippines is on Bahrain's list of countries that can apply for an eVisa online. Bahrain's Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) issues a two-week single-entry eVisa and a three-month multiple-entry eVisa. Filipinos living in a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country can use NPRA's GCC-resident eVisas instead. These need a residence permit whose return visa is valid for at least 3 months. Apply from outside Bahrain, with a Philippine passport valid for more than 6 months.

Do Filipino citizens need a visa for Bahrain?
Yes, a visa is needed before you fly. The Philippines is on Bahrain's online-visa list, so you can get the eVisa without a Bahraini sponsor. Bahrain's eVisa FAQ keeps the guarantor route, through a local company, organization or citizen, for travelers who don't qualify on their own.
I'm a Filipino working in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. Which Bahrain visa can I get?
NPRA has eVisas for residents of GCC countries, issued for two weeks (single entry) or three months (multiple entry). Your application includes a clear copy of your residence permit. The return visa on that permit must be valid for at least 3 months.
Can Filipinos work in Bahrain on a tourist eVisa?
No. Bahrain's NPRA says visitors may not engage in any form of work during their visit. That covers paid jobs and unpaid work alike.
