Do I need an eVisa to visit Bahrain?

Check if you are eligible for a Bahrain eVisa using our Visa Checker. Simply enter your country of origin, choose Bahrain as your destination, and the information you require will appear.

If you are eligible, you can also get your Bahrain eVisa on arrival and pay the fee at the point of entry. However, we recommend getting your visa before you arrive to avoid complications at the airport.

iVisa Pro Tip: Many travelers report that the visa on arrival can only be paid in cash. Make sure to bring cash or pre-apply for a smoother experience and more payment options.

"The Bahrain online website has issues processing foreign credit cards - it's been like that for a long time and may indicate some issue in their system." - Hannah B.
