Manama: The Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) announced exceptional measures regarding visit visas in light of the current circumstances, the treacherous Iranian aggression against the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the resulting cancellation or suspension of several flights.
According to Bahrain News Agency, Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for NPRA, stated that holders of all types of visit visas who are currently inside the Kingdom of Bahrain and whose permitted stay expired on or after February 28, 2026, will be exempted from fines resulting from delayed departure from the country, for an additional period of one month following the reopening of the airspace.
He further explained that visit visas valid as of February 28, 2026, will be extended by an additional three months for visitors outside the Kingdom who applied for visas before that date but were unable to use them due to exceptional circumstances.
The NPRA affirmed its commitment to streamlining procedures for travelers and addressing exceptional circumstances, urging everyone to follow the official channels for updates.
