Is there a transit visa? Is it required for Bahrain?


No, there is no specific transit visa for Bahrain. If your itinerary includes a stopover or transit in Bahrain and you intend to exit the airport transit area, you will need to apply for a tourist visa.


Additional Details:

  • Transit without exiting the airport: If you are only transiting through Bahrain and do not plan to leave the international transit area of the airport, you do not need a visa. However, it is advisable to check with your airline and Bahrain immigration authorities for specific policies related to your nationality and transit duration.
  • Tourist visa: If you wish to leave the airport during your stopover or transit, you must apply for a tourist visa. This visa will allow you to explore Bahrain during your stopover. Make sure to apply for the visa well in advance of your travel.
