Do US citizens need a visa to go to Bahrain??? I am not talking about at the airport visa, but at the embassy.

I'm a US citizen and i'm living in Bahrain right now... the only visa youneed is the 2 week one you get at the airport that you pay 5BD for which is 13.5$ the embassy doesnt require anything else!

if you need more information e-mail me and i'll ask for you.

since you can get an on-arrival visa you don't need to go to the embassy and apply for a visa.

Hi!

Hope this will help.



Entering Bahrain, passport and a visa are required. Passports should be valid for at least six months after date of arrival. U.S. passport holders outside of Bahrain may apply and pay for a two-week tourist visa online through the Bahraini government website http://www.evisa.gov.bh , or may obtain it upon arrival at the airport. U.S. diplomatic passport holders receive a no-fee two-week visa. Prior to travel, visitors may obtain five-year multiple-entry visas valid for stays as long as one month from Bahraini embassies overseas. Bahrain assesses heavy fines on visitors who fail to depart Bahrain at the end of their authorized stay. The exact amount of the fine is determined by a formula related to the visa type, duration, and location of issuance. An exit tax is included in the ticket price for flights out of Bahrain, and no additional exit fees are required upon departure. Residents of Bahrain who intend to return must obtain a re-entry permit before departing. For further information on entry/exit requirements, travelers may contact the Embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain, 3502 International Drive, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 342-1111; or the Bahrain Permanent Mission to the U.N., 2 United Nations Plaza, East 44th St., New York, N.Y. 10017, telephone (212) 223-6200. See our Foreign Entry Requirements brochure for more information on Bahrain and other countries. Visit the Embassy of Bahrain web site at www.bahrainembassy.org for the most current visa information.

Have fun!

Americans, Europeans & Australians are all exempted from acquiring a visa before entering Bahrain. To work in Bahrain, you need a sponsor, but if visiting Bahrain for business or tourism, all you need is your luggage.
