Advice Needed: One-Way Ticket to Bahrain for Business Setup?

As a british national, you will get a visa on arrival.  Immigration may or may not ask to see a return ticket.   In which case, show them the return ticket that you booked.   Be open about setting up a CR and not sure how long it will take.

CR including bank account may take up to a month if no issue arises.

Hi every body

I came 3 times as a Frenchman. I took the visa on arrival. For my last trip I only took the one-way ticket. They never asked me to show the return ticket. They only ask for the length of your stay to make you pay the correct visa rate

Do you have any idea how long it would take roughly to get a personal visa (self-sponsored) then considering the security clearance & business name is approved?

Just wondering if this 4 weeks or 10 weeks+.

Thank you

If you had a cpr, then it could be matter of days. Since you don't, it can take a few weeks. But that is not the issue. You get CR without license and need address / bank account to get it active. Bank account can take a long time. Hence I said to keep a month in mind.

@XTang

Thank you for the information. My arrival is scheduled for early March. I'll try to get the maximum visa duration available and provide updates to this post accordingly, in-case anybody is interested.

Yes please do. Good luck as Ramadan starts in a week or so and everything drastically slows down then.

Update: Received a 90 day visa on arrival, they didn't really ask for any documents or reasons, to be honest. May have gotten lucky with the attendant. Will now try to get the rest of the business setup done.

Good luck and thanks for the update
