- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation

- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Bahrain before you apply.

- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.

Where do you apply for a visa for Bahrain from Greece?
A visa on arrival for Bahrain is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Greece on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
