Bahrain e-Visa for South African citizens is an online alternative to a traditional visa required to travel to Bahrain. Nowadays, embassy visits can be replaced with an online short application process to receive an obligatory travel permit.

e-Visa is issued exclusively for tourist, business, or transit trips. You should know that it doesn't cover a permit for taking up a job within the territory of Bahrain.

South African citizens can choose from three types of electronic visas: a 14-day single-entry, 30-day multiple-entry, and a 90-day multiple-entry. 

You can submit your request from South Africa by simply filling out the application form using any electronic device and get your Bahrain online visa.

The approved online visa should arrive in your inbox maximally within 5 business days, while the application process can be completed within a couple of minutes.
