Hi,  I am planning on applying a tourist Visa for my Mom and little sister. They are Indian citizens and I am an American citizen. Can someone please tell me how easy or difficult it is to get a 2 week visit visa? What is a NOC and do they need it? Is it better to visit the embassy in Mumbai and apply in person or will applying for evisa is simple enough. Thanks.

Apply for an evisa. But they will need to show proof of funds to support themselves as well as return air ticket.  NOC or eNOC is for a sponsored visa which your employer will apply for on your behalf - no proof of funds needed in that case nor air ticket.

So as long as they have proof of funds they are good to go right? My mom has US visa too so I am thinking getting a Bahrain visa won't be a problem as long as she can show that she had enough funds in her bank to support her travel. What about minors? In this case my little sister, will she be able to piggy back on my mom's account and get her tourist visa as well without any problem? Tia.

If she is below 18, then yes.  Your mother needs to write a letter saying that she is travelling with her and will support her.   In the bank statement, there should be at least 300 BHD in equivalent currency and the statement should be stamped by the bank.
