Q: Why is it so difficult to get a visit visa to Bahrain for nationals of countries other than the ones who can get it on arrival? All hotels and travel agencies are fine doing business visas but refuse to do tourist/visit visas.Why?? From India.
A: One reason. Many expats come to Bahrain on visit/tourist visas and never leave. They start working illegally as handy men and stay in te country for many years until caught. This is the main reason for not giving visas easily. Once you have a sponsor in Bahrain, it is very easy to get a visa.
