Quick answer
With an Indian passport and a valid US, UK, Schengen or Canada visa or residence, you may qualify for a Bahrain visa on arrival. Because eligibility depends on your visa and the rules change, the safer route is the Bahrain e-visa (14 or 30 days) arranged before you fly. Our desk can apply for it on Bahrain's official system.
