FAQ

Visas for Bahrain citizens

Where can Bahrain passport holders go visa-free?
Visa-free: 49 countries and territories, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Barbados, Belarus and Botswana. In 7 more countries, an electronic travel authorisation is enough โ€” it takes a few minutes online.
Where can you stay the longest without a visa?
The longest stays: Georgia โ€” 365 days, Egypt โ€” 180 days, Lebanon โ€” 180 days and Armenia โ€” 120 days.
How accurate is this, and how often is it updated?
The reference is updated weekly and cross-checked against two independent sources; where they disagree, the country is marked โ€œReferences disagreeโ€. Only the destination country can confirm its rules โ€” check its official website or embassy before you travel.
What is an electronic travel authorisation versus an e-visa?
An electronic travel authorisation (ETA, ESTA and the like) is a short online form, usually approved within minutes to days. An e-visa is a full visa, but you apply and pay online without visiting a consulate.
