Overview
If you’re an Indian entrepreneur, investor, or corporate executive planning to attend business meetings, trade events, or investment discussions in Bahrain, you’ll need a Bahrain Business Visa. This visa allows short-term entry for professional engagements such as conferences, networking, client visits, or signing contracts — but it does not permit employment or paid work within the Kingdom.
As one of the Gulf’s leading financial and trade hubs, Manama offers vast business opportunities in finance, oil, logistics, and technology. Applying for this visa ensures legal and smooth access to Bahrain’s thriving corporate environment.
Applications for Indian citizens can be made directly through the official Bahrain eVisa portal: https://www.evisa.gov.bh/
