    Bahrain: GCC citizens do not need an entry visa

    The Bahrain National Portal expressly exempts citizens of Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar from Bahrain’s entry-visa requirement.

    • Applies to citizenship of the five named GCC states, not merely residence in a GCC state.
    • The National Portal says other nationalities require an entry visa; this is not a visa-on-arrival, ETA, or eVisa.
    • NPRA separately offers electronic visas to GCC residents who meet its status and document conditions; that route does not alter the named GCC citizen exemption.
    • Same-flight or same-airport transit is separately visa-free under the Bahrain AIP and is outside this ordinary visitor classification.
    • Does not classify work, residence, family sponsorship, transit requiring entry, crew, diplomatic, official, service, UN, emergency, refugee, or other special-document entry.
