The process for obtaining a visa depends on what type of visa
you are eligible for.
| Sponsored? |
If you require a sponsored visa, your sponsor
(eg. your employer, if it is for work) will arrange this. If they are Registered
Users of this site, they can apply online for your visa using this site.

| Unsponsored? |
If you are eligible for a Visit eVisa, you can obtain one yourself
by clicking here.
|
| Not sure? |
Go to Apply for eVisa, provide basic information about your
circumstances, and the system will show you what visa types
are available, and how to obtain them:
"Internet" means that you can apply here and now, using this site.
"On Arrival" means that you can travel to Bahrain without a visa
and apply for one at the border.
"Embassy" means that you must contact your nearest Bahrain embassy.
"Sponsor" means that you must contact a sponsor and
arrange a visa in advance. Airlines, large hotels, and
registered travel agents in Bahrain can act as your sponsor.
In every case, you must make sure that you qualify for a visa by
carefully reading the conditions, and verifying that you meet all
of the requirements. |
