CAPTCHA code

The Kingdom of Bahrain facilitates effortless entry for short-stay travellers from Malaysia through its state-of-the-art Electronic Visa (eVisa) system. Malaysian passport holders can secure the necessary travel authorisation without visiting a consulate, completing the entire application process digitally from any location globally.

Selecting the Right Bahrain Entry Permit

Your purpose of visit determines the correct electronic authorisation to request:

  • Bahrain Tourist eVisa: Perfect for vacations, sightseeing, recreational pursuits, and experiencing the local Bahraini culture.
  • Bahrain Business eVisa: Required for attending professional conventions, meetings, or commercial negotiations within the Kingdom.
  • Bahrain Family eVisa: Designed for immediate relatives visiting a family member residing legally in Bahrain.

Malaysian individuals anticipating multiple trips over 1 year should consider applying for the Multiple-Entry eVisa, which grants unlimited access for the duration of its validity.

Essential Documentation for Malaysian Applicants
