Frequently asked questions
Usually 1-3 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. You'll get an email with the approved eVisa.
The fee varies depending on the type and duration. For a single-entry tourist eVisa, expect around 30-40 BHD (roughly 80-105 USD). Check the official site for the exact amount at the time of application.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'll have to leave and re-enter with a new visa.
You won't be allowed to board your flight. There is no visa-on-arrival for Uzbek passport holders. You must have the eVisa before you travel.
If you're staying airside and your layover is under 24 hours, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require one even for transit. If you want to leave the airport, you'll need the eVisa.
Renew your passport before applying for the eVisa. Bahrain immigration strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. You'll be denied entry if your passport doesn't meet this requirement.
The standard eVisa is single-entry. If you plan to leave and re-enter Bahrain (e.g., for a day trip to Saudi Arabia), you'll need a multiple-entry visa. Check the options on the eVisa website.
