## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Bahrain: Iran, North Korea, and Kosovo ordinary passports requiring advance visa** (Visa required)
  Iran, North Korea, and Kosovo are not named in either live NPRA online or on-arrival country schedule. Bahrain's National Portal expressly gives the residual rule that a non-on-arrival country needs an entry visa issued in advance through an embassy, sponsor, or travel agency.
  - This is the National Portal's explicit advance-issuance residual for nationalities outside the on-arrival schedule, read with the current online and on-arrival country schedules. It is not inferred from a commercial passport index or from a failed application.
  - The cited schedules do not name these three catalog passport codes. The National Portal describes advance issuance through a Bahrain embassy in the country of residence, a Bahraini sponsor, or a travel agency; it does not establish a nationality-wide self-service eVisa route for them.
  - This policy does not decide any resident-, GCC-status-, third-country-document-, invitation-, work-, residence-, transit-, diplomatic-, official-, service-, refugee-, emergency-, or special-document exception. Visa issuance, security screening, sanctions, carrier checks, and final admission remain applicable.
