Bahrain Business Visa
The Bahrain Business e-Visa permits short-term travel for business meetings, conferences, and negotiations.
It may be issued as a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, with stay periods of 14, 30, or 90 days and validity periods extending up to 1 year.
Note: This eVisa is strictly for business purposes and does not permit any paid employment in Bahrain.Start with these. Every applicant submits them, no exceptions.
What comes next depends on your nationality.
During your application, you will be asked: "Do you have a current, valid Residence Permit or Visit Visa for a GCC country?"
Your answer shapes the rest of your document list.
Note: Certain nationalities answering no will need one more document: a valid visa from the UAE, UK, USA, Saudi Arabia (Hajj and Umrah visas not accepted), any Schengen country, or a US Green Card.
Some nationalities only submit the 3 documents at the top. Nothing further is required of them.
See the Bahrain eVisa Document Requirements to confirm your specific list.
Note: Accuracy and completeness of the application are paramount to avoid potential delays or issues. Applicants will receive an email regarding their submission indicating that the application is under review.
Business travel often depends on timing. Applicants may select Rush or Super Rush processing when faster Business eVisa review is required.
Full details on faster processing and eVisa fees are available on the Bahrain eVisa Fee page.
Applicants may check Bahrain eVisa status using the passport number and order ID. Status updates are also sent by email.
Applicants requiring additional time in Bahrain must submit an extension request before eVisa expiry through the Bahrain immigration website.
