eVisa (electronic visa). A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.
You apply online before you travel and are approved before you fly. There is no embassy appointment and no interview — you fill in a form on the government's own site, pay the government's fee, and carry the approval with you.

What Bahrain asks for
- Your own passport (each applicant, including dependants, applies on their own passport)
Worth knowing
- evisa.gov.bh is the only official website for a Bahrain visa. No website or company applies on behalf of the government.
- The processing fee is not refunded if the application is refused.
- You pay twice: the application fee when you apply, then the visa fee once the visa is approved.
How long it takes
The decision is sent by email. Some applications take longer.
