Bahrain extends validity of all types of visit visas until 2021
Bahrain:
Bahrain’s Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) announced
today it has decided to re-extend the validity of all types of visit visas
until 21 January 2021 with fee exception to all visitors.
The NPRA will automatically carry out the extension process without the need
to apply for the renewal through the e-visa website.
The service allows visitors to correct their residency situation in the
country and facilitate their departure in case of the availability of
flights to their countries due to the extraordinary global situation
resulting from the coronavirus. It is also part of a host of procedures
taken previously to support citizens and residents in light of such
extraordinary situations.
The NPRA has provided facilities to visitors and residents in Bahrain since
the beginning of the pandemic through extending the validity of residency
permits and visas for foreigners in Bahrain without paying the
administration fees for a humanitarian reason as part of the national
efforts against the spread of coronavirus.
