Bahrain Tourist eVisa — 30 dayseVisa
From$114.99
- Who it's for
- Citizens of the many countries Bahrain accepts through its online channel. Nationalities not on that list cannot apply directly and are routed instead to a guarantor, such as their airline, hotel, a Bahraini travel agent, company or citizen, who applies on their behalf.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism and leisure, including visiting family or friends and attending business meetings. It is not convertible online into another visa type or into residency. Journalists and travelers coming for NGO or charity work are handled outside this route by other authorities.
- How you travel
- Valid at Bahrain International Airport, at the ferry terminals, and at the King Fahd Causeway land crossing from Saudi Arabia. A short airport connection where you do not leave the terminal does not need one.
- Delivery format
- An electronic visa in PDF form, linked to your passport number rather than stamped into the passport itself. Print it and carry it with you, because there is nothing in the passport for a border officer to look at.
- Good to know
- Every applicant needs their own passport and their own application, and a child endorsed in a parent's passport is not accepted. Applications cannot be amended after submission, so a correction means cancelling and reapplying. Holding a visa never guarantees entry, which the immigration officer decides.
- Validity
- Valid for 30 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 14 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 24 hours
