When completing your Bahrain eVisa application, select the urgent or express processing option. This choice must be made during the initial application submission.
Fill out the application form with complete accuracy. Any errors can cause delays, which is particularly critical for urgent applications.
Upload all required documents in the correct format and quality to avoid processing delays.
Pay the total fees including urgent processing charges. Once approved, your eVisa will be sent to your email immediately.
Essential documents and criteria for expedited processing
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your planned entry date into Bahrain.
High-quality scans of your passport bio-data page and a recent passport-sized photograph.
Proof of confirmed travel arrangements, including flight bookings and accommodation details.
Valid credit or debit card for paying government fees and urgent processing charges.
Maximize your chances of quick processing
The single most important factor for fast processing is accuracy. Even minor errors in your passport number, name spelling, or travel dates can trigger manual review, significantly delaying approval. Triple-check every field before submission, especially when using urgent processing.
Upload clear, well-lit scans of your passport and photograph. Blurry or dark images will be rejected automatically, causing delays. Your passport scan should show all four corners clearly, and your photo must meet the official Bahrain eVisa photo specifications.
While urgent processing is available 24/7, applications submitted during Bahrain business hours (Sunday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM Bahrain time) may receive slightly faster attention. However, the 3-hour express service operates around the clock for true emergencies.
Bahrain immigration may request additional information or clarification. Monitor your email inbox (including spam/junk folders) constantly during urgent processing. Quick responses to any queries can prevent delays in receiving your approval.
Confirm that your nationality is eligible for Bahrain eVisa before paying for urgent processing. Some nationalities may require different visa procedures or embassy appointments, which cannot be expedited through the eVisa system.
Prepare all required documents before beginning your application. This includes your passport scan, photograph, travel itinerary, accommodation booking, and payment method. Having everything ready allows you to complete the application in one session without interruption.
Processing Time Guarantee: While urgent processing significantly speeds up the approval process, the Bahraini government does not provide guaranteed processing times. The 3-hour timeframe is typical for urgent express processing, but actual times may vary based on application volume, security checks, and verification requirements.
Additional Fees Apply: Urgent processing incurs additional charges beyond the standard Bahrain eVisa fees. The total cost depends on your chosen processing speed - express (3 hours), super rush (4-6 days), or rush (5-7 days) processing.
Non-Refundable Fees: All visa fees, including urgent processing charges, are non-refundable even if your application is rejected. Review all common rejection reasons before applying to maximize your chances of approval.
Apply Early When Possible: Even with urgent processing available, we strongly recommend applying at least 7-10 days before your travel date whenever possible. This provides a buffer for any unforeseen issues and allows you to use standard processing rates, saving money while ensuring timely approval.
Once approved, your Bahrain eVisa will be sent to the email address you provided in your application. This typically happens within minutes of approval for urgent processing.
Present your printed eVisa along with your passport at Bahrain immigration. The eVisa is electronically linked to your passport number.
