🇱🇾 Libya visa requirements for Bahraini citizens

Entry rules for Bahrain passport holders

Before traveling to Libya, Bahraini citizens must apply for an electronic visa through the official Libya government portal. Processing usually takes from a few hours to a few business days, so apply well before your flight. Print a copy of the approval to show at check-in and on arrival.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Libya immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Bahraini passport ranks #100 worldwide, opening 87 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (49 visa-free, 34 with a visa on arrival and 4 with an eTA). Libya is not among them — it is one of the 86 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

The arrangement is reciprocal: Libyan citizens traveling to Bahrain face the same requirement (e-visa).

Across Northern Africa as a whole, 3 of 6 destinations are open to Bahraini travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
