Bahrain requires foreign nationals planning to visit the country to hold a valid travel permit. This permit is known as the Bahrain e-Visa, a digital document that allows Egyptian citizens to stay in Bahrain for short-term tourist, family, and business visits.

We have prepared a detailed guide below to walk you through the requirements, application steps, and key details you need to know before your trip.

Eligible Egyptians Who Can Apply for the Bahrain e-Visa?

Egyptian nationals can apply for the Bahrain e-Visa if they fulfil specific document requirements and can prove a genuine intention to depart the country before the e-Visa expires. The validity of the e-Visa ranges from 14 days to 1 year, based on the type selected by the applicant.

Which documents do Egyptians need for the Bahrain e-Visa?

The document checklist includes, but is not limited to:

• Egyptian Passport: An Egyptian passport that will still be valid for at least 6 months after your intended stay in Bahrain.
• Travel Details: If travelling by air, provide a confirmed round-trip ticket; if not, submit a letter detailing your mode of arrival and exit from Bahrain.
• Accommodation Proof: Provide a copy of your confirmed hotel booking or your Bahrain host’s national ID.

As more documents may be required, a full and updated checklist is provided on the Bahrain e-Visa Documents Requirement webpage.

During the application process, they may choose from standard, rush, or super-rush processing, with the rush options available at an additional cost.

Tips for a Successful Application

• Accuracy is Key: Ensure the information you provide in the application form matches your passport exactly.
• Clarity in Documentation: Upload clear, high-quality scans of your documents to avoid delays.
• Plan Ahead: Apply for your e-Visa at least a week before travel to account for any unforeseen processing delays.
