What documents are required for a Bahrain e-visa application?​

When applying for a Bahrain e-visa, applicants are required to prepare a set of standard supporting documents to ensure the application can be reviewed smoothly by the Bahraini immigration authorities. While the exact requirements may vary depending on nationality and visa type, most applicants will need to submit the following core documents:

• A valid passport: A clear, color scan of the passport’s biographical data page is required. The passport should be valid for the required period beyond your intended stay in Bahrain and must be in good condition, with all details clearly visible.
• A recent passport-style photograph: The photo should be taken against a light or white background, reflect your current appearance, and meet basic passport photo standards.
• Proof of accommodation in Bahrain: This may include a hotel reservation confirmation or, if staying with a host, details of the host such as their address or invitation information.

A return or onward flight ticket: Applicants must demonstrate their intention to leave Bahrain after the permitted stay, usually by providing a return or onward travel booking.

In certain cases, additional supporting documents may be requested by the Bahraini authorities. These requirements depend on factors such as your nationality, travel purpose, and the specific e-visa category you are applying for. Examples may include proof of sufficient financial means to cover your stay, or for business travelers, an official invitation letter from a registered company or organization in Bahrain.

It is important to note that travel insurance and a detailed travel itinerary are generally not mandatory for most Bahrain e-visa applications. However, they may still be recommended for personal travel preparation and may help demonstrate the credibility of your travel plans if requested.

All documents submitted online must be clear, legible, and consistent with the information declared in the application form. Any discrepancies or unclear uploads may result in delays or additional document requests. As e-visa requirements can vary by nationality, applicants are strongly advised to review the specific conditions applicable to their passport or consult a visa service provider before submitting the application.
