Bahrain visa information for UK citizens

You can use an eVisa to Bahrain for UK citizens for purposes of tourism, business, and transit.

There are 3 eVisa types we can distinguish between:

1. a single-entry visa for a 14-day stay (69 Euro)
2. a multiple-entry visa with each stay not exceeding 30 days (109 Euro)
3. a multiple-entry visa that allows a stay of 90 days at a time (249 Euro)

Each visa type determines the length of your stay in Bahrain. The first visa type allows a 14-day stay; there is one condition you need to meet, i.e., you have to enter Bahrain within the first 30 days of eVisa issuing.

The second type, a multiple-entry visa, allows numerous stays within three months' validity. Each visit cannot be longer than 30 days, and the first entrance needs to take place within the first month of the date of the issue.

The last and most expensive type of eVisa is a multiple-entry one and it is valid for a whole year from issue. It allows UK citizens to make numerous visits to Bahrain, each one not exceeding three months. You are obliged to enter Bahrain within the first 30 days of issuing the visa permit.

Visa requirements for UK citizens

There are basic requirements and additional ones to meet for different nationalities. UK citizens have to meet only the primary conditions to apply online. However, if you come from the British overseas territories, most countries under the British overseas territories have some additional criteria to meet.

Nonetheless, United Kingdom citizens need a visa to enter Bahrain territory. To visit Bahrain, please make sure that you meet the following criteria:

• your passport validity exceeds at least six months ahead of the planned departure date. Attach a scan or a photograph of your valid passport when making your visa application.

• you have a copy of a return/onward ticket

Additional requirement for British overseas territories

Not every British overseas territory has to meet this additional condition. Check what requirements have to be completed by nationals of your country before applying.

Most British overseas territories also have to provide a copy of a stamped bank statement from the last 3 months. The statement needs to be under the applicant's name and has to cover the financial proof from the previous 90 days. You have to have an equivalent of BD (Bahrain dinar) 300, i.e., over 600 GBP or almost 800 USD for that period.
