Bahrain is moving visitor entry online: from Romania, the e-Visa application is filled in on the official portal evisa.gov.bh before boarding.

Do you need a visa?
Yes. Travellers from Romania are not exempt for Bahrain: they must request an e-Visa before travelling. The application should be arranged ahead of time from Romania; the e-Visa avoids the uncertainty of sorting it out at the counter at Manama airport.
How and where to apply
The process is fully online, from Romania, via the official portal evisa.gov.bh. You create an account, complete the form, upload the required documents and pay online. No embassy visit is needed for the standard procedure.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a compliant photo, a hotel booking, a return ticket and proof of funds. The exact fee and validity (single stay or multiple entry) are set by the official portal: check it there for the current amount.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed: submit several days before departure to absorb any delay. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approval, as it may be requested at boarding and on arrival. Re-read every field before you submit.
Common mistakes
The main pitfalls: using an unofficial intermediary site that overcharges, applying too late, or travelling on a passport with insufficient validity. Make sure the name entered matches the passport exactly, and check the visa category that matches the length of your stay on the official source.
