Do I need a visa to go to Bahrain?
Yes, all travelers are required to apply for a visa to enter Bahrain for tourism, business, or other purposes. It's advisable to check the specific visa requirements based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit before traveling.
Applying for a Bahrain e-Visa is super easy. But you do need to prepare a few things:
- Valid passport: The primary document required for obtaining the Bahrain e-Visa is your passport, which must be a biometric machine-readable passport issued by the Bahraini government. Ensure that your passport contains a minimum of 2 blank pages for visa stamps. Additionally, verify that your passport remains valid for at least 6 months from the intended date of entry into Bahrain.
- Passport photo with a white background: Include a recent passport-size photograph when submitting your e-Visa application. The photo should show your full face, looking directly at the camera. Ensure the background is plain white, free of shadows or objects behind you.
- Confirmed return plane ticket
- Valid debit/credit card for paying the visa fees
- Travel insurance documents
Sometimes extra papers are required depending on why you're visiting Bahrain.
