Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish nationals need a visa for Bahrain and apply mainly online, through the e-Visa on the official government portal, before departure.
Bahrain issues Danish travellers a short-stay electronic visa (e-Visa) to be requested online before the trip; some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival. The passport must remain valid for at least six months. The fee and validity period are to be confirmed with the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Danish citizens must obtain a visa for Bahrain. The tourist e-Visa covers tourism and visits for a short stay; it does not permit paid employment. Applying online in advance is the recommended route.
How and where to apply
Apply on Bahrain's official e-Visa portal (evisa.gov.bh) run by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA): create an account, complete the form, upload the passport and a photo, then pay the fee. The approved e-Visa is received by email and shown on arrival in Bahrain.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, an ID photo, proof of accommodation or a hotel booking, a return ticket and sometimes a bank statement. The fee amount is not confirmed here: check it on the official portal when applying, as it depends on the visa type and duration.
Processing and tips
Apply several working days before departure, as the processing time is not guaranteed. Print your e-Visa and keep the accommodation and return proofs to hand. Check the authorised length of stay and extension conditions on the official portal.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes are relying on a visa on arrival without checking eligibility, presenting a passport with less than six months' validity, and using paid intermediary sites. Always use the official government portal and confirm the fee before travelling.
