Travel Authorisation Bahrain

Description

Swiss citizens require a visa to enter Bahrain, and the most convenient option is the Bahrain eVisa, which can be applied for online prior to departure. The eVisa typically allows stays of up to 14 or 30 days depending on the category, and both single-entry and multiple-entry versions are available. Our Travel Authorisation Bahrain service simplifies the application process, ensures accuracy, and keeps you informed about all entry requirements.

It is advisable to begin your application at least one week before travel. While eVisas are often approved within a few business days, applying early ensures time to resolve any issues that may arise.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

• A valid Swiss passport with at least six months’ validity beyond your stay

• Completed online eVisa application approved prior to travel

• A printed copy of your eVisa grant notice to present to airlines and border officers

• Proof of return or onward travel

• Evidence of sufficient funds and hotel booking or invitation letter

The Bahrain eVisa can be used at the main international airport in Manama and most official land or sea entry points. Our service confirms the correct entry procedures for your route.

Health considerations:

• Proof of yellow fever vaccination may be required if arriving from or transiting through affected regions

• COVID-19 rules have eased but may be reintroduced at short notice; always check the latest guidance close to departure

• Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses and repatriation is highly recommended. Carrying proof of valid insurance is advisable, as it may be requested on arrival

Customs and currency rules: Travelers must declare cash amounts exceeding the set limit (currently equivalent to 6,000 BHD). Restricted goods such as alcohol, tobacco, and certain electronics are subject to duty-free limits. Our service helps you understand these allowances to avoid fines or delays.

For longer stays beyond the standard eVisa, Swiss citizens may need to apply for a work permit, business visa, or residence permit. These applications must be arranged with Bahraini authorities in advance, and processing times vary.
