Why apply through OYA?
One mistake in a letter or a number… could cost you the entire visa fee
An application can be rejected, or its fees lost, because of one small mistake: a letter in the name that does not match the passport, a missing digit, a reversed date, or a photo of the wrong size. Government fees are usually non-refundable. That is why we submit your Bahrain visa application for you and set up your file correctly from the start.
We fill in the application for youand match every letter and number to your passport before submitting.
We review photos and documentsagainst the official specifications, so the file is not rejected over a formality.
We organize your file correctlyand complete the bookings and paperwork required for your type of visa.
We follow your application until the decisionand send you the e-visa on WhatsApp as soon as it is issued.
OYA Tourism is a private travel agency, not a government body. Our service fee is modest, and we explain it to you separately from the official fees before we start; the final decision rests with the competent authority alone.
Overview
Citizens of GCC countries enter Bahrain without a visa, while other nationalities need an entry visa. The easiest route is the e-visa (eVisa) run by the official authorities of the Kingdom of Bahrain. According to the government services guide, a visit visa is available to citizens of most countries in the world.
The options include a single-entry visit visa valid for two weeks, multiple-entry visas for three months, one year or five years, as well as a family visit visa and a visa for Gulf residents. The official guide states the processing time as usually 3 to 5 business days.
The file usually needs a hotel booking, a return ticket and a bank statement for the last 3 months. We arrange and review these documents before submission, and we can book your flight and your hotel in Manama. The decision rests with the Bahraini authorities alone.
