What Is A Bahrain Evisa?

The term "eVisa" is used to refer to a Visa where there is no visible stamp or label. In this case, the Visa is electronic, and the validity of the Visa will be recognised at the border when you enter Bahrain

How Much Does The Bahrain Evisa Cost?

When filling out your online application form, you will be required to pay a visa processing fee with your debit or credit card.

The visa fees vary widely and depend on the type of visa you are applying for.

The Bahrain visa fees for a single entry Bahrain eVisa is 29 BD or approximately 77 USD. However, shorter single-entry visas cost less than long-stay multiple-entry visas. However, none of the prices are too high, and all the visa options are reasonable and affordable. The eVisa fees are payable online via a secure online payment option.

The Bahrain Evisa Fee is non-refundable.

What Is The Processing Time Of The Bahrain EVisa?

The Bahrain Visa processing time of the visa is usually between 3 to 5 days, and in some cases, it could only take one day.

Remember that anything can influence the processing time, therefor make sure to apply as soon as possible.

What Is The Validity Of The Bahrain EVisa?

Bahrain’s visa validity period is between 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on the type of visa you apply for. Applicants decide how long they need to visit the country and apply for the visa accordingly.

The validity of the visa depends on the purpose of the visit, your nationality, and the type of eVisa you applied for.

Generally, the eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of approval, and you can visit the country between the validity of the visa. For example, the single-entry Bahrain eVisa will allow you to enter and stay in Bahrain for 2 weeks.

Can I extend My Bahrain Evisa?

Yes. You can extend your visa by visiting The General Directorate of Nationality, Passports & Residence, or NPRA.

They will guide you on the process and requirements for visa extension. You can also request a visa extension online on Bahrain’s National portal.

What Happens After I Receive My Bahrain EVisa?
