Bahrain Sets Five Visa Requirements for Foreign Relatives

The Bahraini government has published five essential requirements for foreign relatives of Bahraini nationals to obtain a visa to live in the country. The visa applies to the father, mother, husband, or children of a Bahraini citizen.

The requirements include that the sponsoring applicant must hold Bahraini citizenship, both the applicant and the foreign relative must demonstrate good conduct and behavior, and the foreign relative must possess valid health insurance covering their entire stay in Bahrain. Additionally, the Bahraini applicant must provide proof of sufficient income to support both themselves and the foreign relative, and the foreign relative must have secured a suitable place of residence in Bahrain.

Applicants must also submit a completed service request form, a clear copy of the foreign relative's passport, and other supporting documents such as marriage or birth certificates, health insurance documents, and identification copies of the guarantor and the applicant.
