The breadth of the list signals Bahrain's intent to make travel to the Gulf kingdom as straightforward as possible for citizens across virtually every region of the world. For many African travellers in particular, the ability to apply online removes a significant logistical barrier that has historically made Gulf travel cumbersome.
In a similar report, Legit.ng published that Bahrain released a list of 68 countries whose citizens qualify for visas on arrival.
