Entry details

Holders of a Vatican City passport get a visa on arrival — no embassy visit needed when visiting Bahrain. The Vatican City passport currently ranks #59 of 199 worldwide, with 135 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Bahrain is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 71 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #100 with 87 open destinations. The relationship isn't symmetric: Vatican City travellers get easier access here than Bahrain citizens get in return (visa required).

In the opposite direction, Bahrain citizens travelling to Vatican City face: visa required.
