The conditions to apply for the Bahrain eVisa are standard, and Canadians used to travel abroad will find them very straightforward. Below are the main requirements they must meet:

• Take a digital photograph of their passport’s biographical page
• Provide a bank card to pay the eVisa processing fee
• Use an active email address for their application form
• Share their itinerary, including proof of onward travel or accommodation booking

Canadian citizens with a passport set to expire shortly before their intended arrival (180 days or less) should renew it before they begin their petition.

Passengers from Canada must also confirm the debit or credit card they will use to pay the eVisa fee has been previously authorized for international online payments.

The Bahraini authorities also require some travel details to process all applications successfully. This means showing their airline tickets and accommodation bookings.

Then, Canadian travelers need to fill in passport details such as their passport number, expiration date, and issuing country.

Nationals of Canada should carefully review all the information they are sharing since any mistake or typo could lead to a rejection of their applications.

Upon receipt of the eVisa, Canadian citizens must take into account the validity of the eVisa. This is displayed on their approved eVisa for their benefit.
