In a move to enhance accessibility and convenience for Pakistani citizens, Bahrain has recently announced new visit visa options for those looking to explore the country for tourism or business purposes. Managed by the Ministry of Interior, Nationality, Passport, and Residence Affairs (NPRA), the online eVisa application process offers streamlined procedures for a hassle-free experience.
Online Visit Visa Options
Pakistani nationals can now choose from three primary online visit visa options, catering to different travel needs:
- 2 Weeks Single Entry
- Three Months Multiple Entry
- One Year Multiple Entry
Application Requirements
To initiate the eVisa application process, applicants are required to submit several documents, including a passport copy, confirmed return air ticket, proof of hotel booking or accommodation details (or a relative/friend’s ID reader’s printout if staying with them), and a bank statement reflecting a minimum balance of USD 1000 for the last three months under the visitor’s name.
Visa Fees
The visa fees are structured based on the duration and frequency of entry permitted, ensuring fairness and transparency. The costs for the respective visas are as follows:
- The 2-week visit visa is priced at 9 Bahraini Dinar (BD).
- The three-month multiple entry visa is available for 16 BD.
- The one-year multiple entry visa is offered at a fee of 44 BD.
These fees cover administrative costs associated with processing visa applications and maintaining entry records, aligning with Bahrain’s commitment to providing a seamless entry experience for visitors.
Streamlined Entry Processes
Bahrain’s visa system is designed to streamline entry processes for visitors while ensuring compliance with regulations. This approach allows travelers from Pakistan the flexibility to choose the visa duration and entry frequency that best suits their needs. Whether it’s a short two-week trip or an extended one-year visit, the new visit visa options provide Pakistani citizens with the flexibility and convenience they seek when exploring Bahrain for tourism or business.
As Bahrain continues to position itself as an attractive destination, these new visit visa options contribute to fostering stronger ties and facilitating smoother interactions between Pakistani travelers and the Kingdom. With a commitment to accessibility and convenience, Bahrain invites Pakistani citizens to experience the warmth and hospitality of this vibrant Gulf nation.
