Bahrain has introduced a streamlined eVisa system that allows eligible travellers from Seychelles to obtain their entry permit online, prior to departure. This modern approach replaces traditional embassy-based applications with a faster, paperless process.
Bahrain eVisa for Citizens of Seychelles
Who Is Eligible?
Citizens of Seychelles holding a valid passport (with at least 6 months of remaining validity) can apply online for a Bahrain eVisa. This visa is suitable for:
- Tourism
- Family visits
- Business-related travel
Permitted stay durations include 14, 30, or 90 days, depending on the selected visa type. For detailed information on each option, please refer to the Bahrain eVisa Types webpage.
Required Documents
Make sure you have the following ready before starting your application:
- Passport Bio Page (clear scan, valid for 6+ months)
- Travel Plan / Return Ticket
- By air: Upload a confirmed round-trip ticket
- By land or sea: Provide a short note mentioning entry method, stay period, and onward route
- Proof of Accommodation
Hotel booking confirmation, or Copy of the Bahraini host’s ID (if staying with friends or relatives)
Additional documents may be requested. For complete details, please refer to the Bahrain eVisa Requirements webpage.
Step-by-Step eVisa Application
Getting your Bahrain eVisa is straightforward:
Complete the Online Application Form
Provide accurate passport and travel information as required in the application form.
Upload Required Documents
Submit clear, coloured scans of the required documents.
Pay the Applicable Visa Fee
Make a secure payment using a valid debit or credit card, or via PayPal.
Receive Your eVisa via email
Once approved, the Bahrain eVisa will be delivered to your registered email address. Regular status updates will be shared during the process.
Print and Present Upon Arrival
Carry a printed copy of your approved eVisa and present it along with your passport at the Bahrain port of entry.
Add Applicant Feature: If you are travelling with others, you may use the “Add Applicant” feature to include multiple travellers within a single application session. Each traveller must have a separate passport and set of required documents, while the primary applicant will receive all status updates. Each eVisa is processed and issued separately.
After Receiving Your Bahrain eVisa
Once your Bahrain eVisa is approved and delivered to your email:
Print a clear copy and keep it with your travel documents
Verify that all personal details are accurate
Review the validity period and entry conditions
Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of
arrival
At the Bahrain entry point, present your printed eVisa along with your original passport. Immigration officers will make the final decision regarding entry.
Processing Options and Applicable Fees
Seychellois applicants may choose a processing speed based on travel urgency, each with its own service fee.
Standard Processing
Regular service without prioritisation — No additional fee applies
Rush Processing
Expedited review with faster turnaround — An additional fee applies
Super Rush Processing
Fastest processing with top priority — The highest additional fee applies
Please refer to the Bahrain Visa Fee page for complete details regarding applicable fees.
Travel Purposes That Require a Different Visa
While the eVisa is suitable for tourism, business, and family visits, it cannot be used for:
- Long-term stays
- Employment or paid work
- Study or academic programs
- Permanent relocation to Bahrain
If your reason for travel falls outside the permitted eVisa categories, please consult the nearest Bahraini embassy or consulate for guidance on alternative visa types.
