Bahrain eVisa for Citizens of Kenya

Kenyan visitors planning a trip to Bahrain can start their journey by applying for an eVisa, a digital permit issued before travel. This online authorisation helps travellers avoid airport delays and ensures their entry documents are already confirmed.

Below, you will find the key requirements, stay options, and steps Kenyan applicants should follow when submitting their eVisa request.

Visa Types & Validity

Bahrain offers Tourist, Business, and Family eVisas, with validity periods ranging from 14 days to 1 year, depending on the option selected. For full details on every eVisa type, their validity, and permitted stay, please refer to the Bahrain eVisa Types webpage.

Application Requirements

To meet Bahrain’s entry requirements, Kenyan citizens must upload:

Identity Proof: Kenyan passport bio page. The passport must be valid for the entire stay in Kenya.
Departure Proof: If flying, upload a confirmed return or onward ticket. If arriving by another mode, give a short note outlining your entry method, stay duration, and onward route.
Stay Proof: Hotel reservation or Bahrain ID of the host.

More documents might be required, so applicants should consult the Bahrain eVisa Requirement webpage for the full list.

Application Process

Citizens of Kenya can secure their Bahrain travel permit in advance by applying for the eVisa online.

Step 1

Enter passport and travel details accurately in the Bahrain eVisa online application form.

Step 2

Upload the required documents, ensuring all files are clear, accurate, and remain readable.

Step 3

Complete payment securely using accepted cards; submission occurs only after payment processing.

Step 4

Wait for processing and receive your approved Bahrain eVisa directly by email.

Note: If you are travelling with your family or friends, you can use the ‘Add Applicant’ feature to include multiple travellers within one application. The primary applicant receives all updates on the registered email ID. The eVisa fee is paid once for all applicants, so you do not need to enter card details again for each person. Each applicant will receive a separate eVisa.

After You Receive Your Bahrain eVisa

Keep a printed and digital copy of your eVisa ready. Ensure your passport remains valid for your stay and check the permitted entry and duration on the eVisa. At immigration, present your passport, eVisa copy, and any supporting documents if requested.
