Bahrain Added to India’s e-Visa Eligible Nationalities
India expands its e-Visa program to include Bahraini travelers, enabling streamlined online visa applications for tourism, business, medical, and study purposes.
India has announced the launch of an electronic visa (e-Visa) system for Bahraini nationals planning to travel to India. The news was shared on Thursday, 10 July 2025 by the Indian Ambassador to the small Gulf state, Vinod K. Jacob, via a social media post.
The e-Visa system continues to gain popularity for simplifying travel to India, providing an alternative to traditional physical visas. Visamundi, a visa agency, confirmed that the official website of the Indian Embassy in Bahrain had been updated on Saturday, 12 July, accordingly.
