The application process for an electronic visa to Bahrain won’t take more than a few minutes. Egyptian passport holders need to fill out a short online form, upload the necessary documents, pay the visa fees, and check their inbox. The approved Bahrain eVisa will come as a PDF document.

Do Egyptian citizens need a visa for Bahrain?

Egyptian passport holders don’t have visa-free access to Bahrain, so if you want to visit Bahrain, you need a Bahrain visa. Even if the purpose of your stay is just transit and then you head to your next destination, you still need a visa to Bahrain, no matter how much time you’re going to spend in the country.

A Bahrain electronic visa is the easiest way to obtain a visa for eligible foreigners – you don’t need to attend an embassy or consulate in person. To apply for a visa online, Egyptians should complete an application form on the website, make the payment, and check the email address for the approved eVisa to Bahrain.
