Bahrain has resumed issuing visas on-arrival for nationals from 68 countries, the Nationality, Passport and Residence Affairs (NPRA) has announced.
From Saturday (September 5), residents from neighbouring Gulf countries can also get on-arrival visas.
Full details are available on www.evisa.gov.bh.
Bahrain stopped issuing visas on-arrival on March 18, with only diplomatic passport holders able to use the service until now.
At the same time, Bahrain reduced the number of incoming flights in a bid to “help contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and safeguard the health and safety of citizens and residents”.
Since then, only citizens, residents and travellers with a letter of prior permission, as well as transit passengers, could use Bahrain International Airport.
The resumption of visas on-arrival is part of a number of changes as lockdown restrictions ease across the Kingdom.
Passengers arriving in Bahrain no longer have to quarantine for ten days, their airport PCR test is negative.
