Bahrain eVisa Requirements for Citizens of India

Indian citizens can apply for a few different types of Bahrain visa online, according to the visa policy for Bahrain. They can choose from one of the following Bahrain eVisas:

• 2-week, single-entry Bahrain eVisa — allows one visit of up to 2 weeks
• 1-month multiple-entry Bahrain Visitor eVisa — allows multiple visits of up to 1 month each
• GCC 30-day, multiple-entry Bahrain eVisa — only available for those Indian travelers who have legal residence in one of the neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council countries. It grants entries of up to 30 days each time.

The selection of the right visa depends on the Indian visitors’ own circumstances and travel needs.

Applying for a Bahrain eVisa is a quick and simple process for citizens of India. As with many destinations, travelers must meet a few basic visa requirements for Indian citizens.

The requirements to apply for the Bahraini eVisa for Indian travelers include the following:

• Possess an Indian passport valid for at least the length of the trip and the validity of the visa you are applying for
• Take digital images of the passport’s biographical page and the last page
• Have a credit or debit card to pay the Bahrain eVisa processing fee
• Register their eVisa application with an email address
• Provide travel plans such as a return ticket of accommodation details
• Share a copy of a stamped bank statement confirming you have a balance of at least BD300

Your Indian passport must continue to be valid for longer than the visa you are applying for AND the length of time you intend to stay in Bahrain. If there is any doubt about the validity, you may be denied entry. For this reason, it is advisable to renew your passport if there is less than 6 months’ validity remaining from the arrival date

Applicants from India will also have to submit their travel itinerary, including their arrival date or hotel booking. If they plan to stay with a relative or friend, they will have to share their host’s accommodation details.

Lastly, they will also have to ensure their debit or credit card has been previously authorized for international travel and payments.

The eVisa form is a simple online questionnaire with standard travel questions that usually takes a matter of minutes to fill out. The Kingdom of Bahrain requires Indian applicants to share the following information and passport details:

• Full name
• Gender
• Date of birth
• Country of birth
• Job title
• Purpose of visit
• Email account
• Phone number
• Passport number
• Passport expiry date
• Passport issuing country

The next step is to provide their bank statements, travel plans, and accommodation details. It is imperative that citizens of India review that all the information supplied is correct and true, since mistakes could lead to issues processing the visa.

There is a small eVisa fee to cover the cost of processing the application. Indian travelers can action payment via a secure digital platform and should simply ensure their debit/credit cards carry sufficient funds to cover the cost.

Most Bahrain eVisas for Indian visitors can be used to enter the country by air or by land.

Indian nationals can only use the GCC eVisa at the Bahrain International Airport. 

Border officials will ask you to show your eVisa and the Indian passport you registered in the visa application to be granted entry into the country.
