Manama (IINA) – Bahrain's Deputy Interior Minister for Nationality, Passport and Residence Affairs Sheikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa announced Tuesday that the Cabinet order to include 11 African countries in the list of states that their citizens can get electronic entry visas will come into effect from January 1, Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported.
He said that the countries are Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal, Mauritius and Seychelles. Citizens of these countries can get online entry visas through the e-visa website. This brings the overall number of countries benefiting from online visas to 113.
The Bahraini official added that the selection of these countries was made after a joint study between the Ministry of Interior and the Economic Development Board.
He also noted that the number of countries that get on-arrival-visa has increased to 66 countries instead of 38 previously, adding that remarkable improvements were achieved this year as privileges to make Bahrain an advanced location in entry and transit procedures.
