🇧🇭Bahrain

Typically bring

• Passport with at least 6 months remaining validity and one blank visa page. Printed e‑visa approval document. Return or onward flight ticket. Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter). Sufficient funds or a recent bank statement (typical amount varies). Travel insurance covering health and repatriation (often required by airlines).

Watch out for

• Make sure the e‑visa approval is printed and not just stored on a phone; you may be asked to show a paper copy. Double‑check that the dates on the e‑visa match your travel plans. Do not assume the e‑visa is valid if the approval was received after your flight departure; always apply well in advance. Keep extra photocopies of your passport and visa in separate places in case of loss.

Good to know

• The currency is the Bahraini Dinar (BHD); credit cards work widely in cities. Arabic is the official language, but English is common in business and tourism. Mobile networks are reliable, and Wi‑Fi is available in hotels and cafés. Bahrain is generally safe for tourists, but stay alert in crowded markets and follow local customs, especially regarding dress code in religious sites.
