Bahrain Visa for German citizens

If you are travelling on a German passport, Bahrain is reachable with an online eVisa instead of an embassy appointment. German travellers can complete the whole Bahrain application from home and receive the approval by email.

Can German citizens get a Bahrain eVisa?

Bahrain grants online eligibility to German citizens across 6 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Single Entry for 14 days), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 3 months), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 1 year). Bahrain currently supports Single Entry or Multiple Entries, with a permitted stay of 14 days or 90 days. Government fees range from US$54.00 to US$147.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days. Faster handling can sometimes be arranged on request — around 1 working day has been possible — but it is not guaranteed.

Documents and tips for German travellers

German passports are issued for 10 years to adults; verify the validity buffer required by the destination beyond your stay. Fees are in US dollars, so German applicants may see a EUR conversion on their statement. The most common avoidable mistake for German citizens: entering names with special characters differently from the passport’s machine-readable zone, causing a data mismatch.

• Transcribe names with umlauts as shown in the machine-readable zone of your German passport (e.g. ü may appear as ue).
• Confirm whether the destination needs an eVisa even though many are visa-free for short stays from Germany.
• Keep a printed copy as backup, as not every transit airport accepts a phone screen.
