After submitting your Bahrain eVisa application, it's natural to want to track its progress. The Kingdom of Bahrain provides a convenient online system that allows you to check your eVisa application status at any time. This transparency ensures you stay informed throughout the entire processing period, which typically takes 24 to 72 hours for most applications.

Understanding how to check your Bahrain eVisa status empowers you to plan your travel with confidence. Whether your application is pending, approved, or requires additional information, you'll receive real-time updates that help you make informed decisions about your upcoming trip to Bahrain.

Two Ways to Check Your eVisa Status

Essential Tips for Checking Your eVisa Status

Verify Your Information

Ensure that you enter your Passport Number, Date of Birth, or Application Invoice ID exactly as they appear in your documents. Even minor typos can prevent you from accessing your status.

Check Email Regularly

Once your application status changes to "Completed", you'll receive an approval email with your eVisa number. Don't forget to check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it in your inbox.

Allow Processing Time

Most applications are processed within 5 days, though many are approved sooner. Apply at least two weeks before your travel date to allow for any unforeseen delays.

Bahrain eVisa Processing Timeline

Understanding the typical processing timeline helps you know when to check your Bahrain eVisa status and what to expect at each stage:

Standard Processing

The standard processing time for a Bahrain eVisa is typically 24 to 72 hours after your application is submitted. However, processing times can vary based on several factors:

  • Government volume: High application volumes during peak travel seasons may extend processing times
  • Public holidays: Applications submitted before or during Bahraini public holidays may experience delays
  • Additional documentation: Requests for supplementary documents can add extra time to the process
  • Application accuracy: Errors or inconsistencies in your application form may require clarification

Urgent Processing Options

If you need your visa faster, urgent processing options are available. Some applications can be approved in as little as 3 hours, even on non-working days. This expedited service is ideal for last-minute travel plans but comes with additional fees.

When to Contact Support

While most applications are processed smoothly, you should contact support if:

  • Your application status hasn't changed after 7 days
  • You receive an error message when checking your status
  • Your status shows "Incomplete" but you're unsure what's missing
  • You need to correct information in your submitted application

  • Correct information entry: Double-check that your Passport Number, Date of Birth, or Application Invoice ID is entered accurately
  • Format consistency: Ensure dates are in the correct format (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY as specified)
  • No extra spaces: Remove any leading or trailing spaces from your entries
  • Case sensitivity: Some systems are case-sensitive, so match the exact format from your documents

Missing Application

If your application cannot be found in the system:

  • Wait 24 hours: Newly submitted applications may take up to a day to appear in the tracking system
  • Check email confirmation: Verify that you received a confirmation email after submission
  • Payment verification: Ensure your payment was successfully processed
  • Try alternative method: If using passport number doesn't work, try your Application Invoice ID

What to Do After Your eVisa is Approved

Once your status shows "Completed" and you've received your approval email, follow these important steps:

Print Your eVisa

Download the eVisa document attached to your approval email and print at least two copies. You'll need to present a physical copy to immigration officers when you arrive in Bahrain. Keep one copy with your travel documents and store another separately as a backup.

Verify All Details

  • Your name matches your passport exactly
  • Your passport number is correct
  • Your date of birth is accurate
  • The visa validity dates cover your intended travel period
  • The visa type matches your purpose of visit

Prepare for Arrival

When entering Bahrain, you should have the following documents ready:

  • Printed eVisa: The approved eVisa document from your email
  • Valid passport: With at least 6 months validity remaining
  • Return ticket: Proof of onward or return travel
  • Accommodation details: Hotel bookings or invitation letter
