What the Bahrain visa rules mean for Uruguay travellers

Uruguay passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Bahrain for stays of up to 14 days. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.

The main option is the Two-week single-entry eVisa, which costs 10 BHD with a processing time of 1 business days. Bahrain also offers 2-week single-entry visit visa on arrival — see the visa options above.
