How long does a Bahrain visa take?

The processing time for a Bahrain visa depends on the type of visa you apply for and how you submit your application. If you apply online for a Bahrain eVisa, the process is generally quick and convenient. In most cases, eVisa applications are processed within 1 to 3 business days, making it an efficient option for travelers who need a visa on short notice. However, it is advisable to apply at least a week before your planned travel date to account for any unexpected delays.

At the moment, you have 3 choices of visa that you can apply for:

• 2-week validity e-visa with single entry
• 3-month validity e-visa with multiple entries
• 1-year validity e-visa with multiple entries

These e-visa are for short-term tourism and business purposes. If you want to stay in Bahrain for a longer period, please apply for a paper visa at the Embassy. The process might take months to process and you will need a lot of documents for requirements.

If you're unsure about how long your specific visa application will take, it's best to check the official Bahrain government website or contact the relevant visa issuing authorities. To avoid any last-minute stress, it's recommended to plan your visa application in advance.
