You can board a flight to Bahrain on a passport from United Arab Emirates with no visa. The officer on arrival sets how long you may stay. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.
- Status
- Visa free
- Stay permitted
- Set by the officer on entry
- Government fee
- Nothing to pay
- Typical decision
- No application
There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.
Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Bahrain visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.
If you are travelling on a different passport, Bahrain's official entry rules are at evisa.gov.bh.
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.
