How To Apply Visa In Bahrain
Section: The government of Bahrain has recently changed the procedure for a visitor visa.
Since April 16, 2017, the e-visa envelope has been increased from BHD 5 to BHD 20 for a one month multiple entry visa.
The additional fees are BHD 1 for the first day, BHD 2 for the second day, BHD 3 for the third day, and BHD 4 for the fourth day.
It’s now possible to get a one-month multiple entry visit visa in just two steps:
1. After your application is approved, you can request an electronic visa on your mobile phone or tablet (and skip step two).
2. You can then complete your booking details on your personal computer or laptop.
