Bahrain: named ordinary passports eligible for visa on arrival
The live NPRA Visa portal expressly names this exact residual cohort on its Countries Eligible to Get Visa on-Arrival list. The same nationalities also appear on the distinct online-visa list, but the available border-issued route controls this normalized visitor-access status.
- Applies to a traveller holding the named nationality's own ordinary passport for a visitor entry; the FAQ requires each applicant to provide an individual passport.
- The public NPRA Visa country lists separately label these nationalities as eligible online and eligible on arrival. This policy normalizes the directly available border-issued route as visa_on_arrival rather than treating optional online processing as the only route.
- The arrival list says terms and conditions apply. The FAQ says a traveller must meet all conditions on arrival and entry remains at the Immigration Officer's discretion.
- Visa type, duration, fees, extension, work, residence, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless, and individual security/admissibility treatment remain outside this nationality-level visitor rule.
