Vietnam Visa for Bahraini Citizens: E-Visa Cost in Bahraini Dinars and Steps
Vietnam visa for bahraini citizens: you need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. BHD 17.67). Dinar prices and Manama cut-offs.
Bahraini citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Bahraini citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. BHD 17.67) all-in through us for single entry. Bahrain is on none of Vietnam's exemption lists, so a Bahraini passport gets no visa-free stay. This page covers the e-visa, prices in Bahraini dinars, urgent cut-offs in Manama time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Manama is four hours behind Vietnam all year, so Vietnam's afternoon cut-offs fall in your morning. The cut-off table below shows which speed is still open when you order.

Do Bahraini citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Bahraini citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Bahrain is not on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026), and it is not among the 12 countries added to the 45-day list by Resolution 229/NQ-CP, in force from August 15, 2025.
One lookup site says Bahrainis can stay 90 days without a visa; the Ministry's table does not support that. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Bahraini citizens: urgent cut-offs in Manama time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 4:00 in Manama.
| Order cut-off | Manama time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 10:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 11:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 13:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 14:00 |
Example: you order on Tuesday at 5:00 in Manama, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 6:30, Super Urgent by 7:30 and Same day by 14:00, all in Manama time. Ordered on Tuesday at 12:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 13:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 7:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 10:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 14:00 in Manama and ends on Sunday at 12:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 11:20 and it arrives by 14:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Photo examples and the full checklist are on our e-visa requirements page.
Visa on arrival for Bahraini citizens
Bahraini citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Bahrain
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. For consular help, check the list of Vietnamese missions on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.gov.vn) for the one that covers Bahrain.
Tips for Bahraini travelers
Two points help Bahraini travelers: using the short time gap, and trusting the Ministry's table over lookup pages.
Four hours is a short gap
An order placed at 8:00 in Manama reaches Vietnam at noon, in the middle of its working day. The Same day cut-off falls at 10:15 in Manama and the Emergency cut-off at 13:30, so a morning order keeps every speed open.
Check any site that says visa-free
Some lookup sites say Bahraini passport holders can stay 90 days without a visa. That conflicts with the Ministry's list above. Check the Ministry's table again and look for Bahrain: it is not on it.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
