Bahrain has resumed issuing on-arrival visas, effective yesterday, Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) has said.

The decision was taken following a directive by the Government Executive Committee, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier, at a meeting on Thursday following recommendations by the National Taskforce to Combat Covid-19.

Entry is restricted to Bahraini citizens, residents, GCC citizens who do not need a visa, passengers eligible to obtain a visa on arrival, passengers with a valid eVisa, diplomats, military personnel, airline crew, or holders of official, service or UN passports, BAC said in a series of tweets yesterday.

It said: “Visas on arrival are reintroduced for citizens of nationalities that are eligible for it. To determine eligibility and to obtain an eVisa prior to your departure, please visit http://evisa.gov.bh."

The company said all passengers must undergo a Covid test at their own expense on arrival and must remain in self-isolation until its result is determined.
