Brunei copyright holders can apply online for a Saudi e‑Visa. This visa is valid for tourism, business, Umrah, or events. It allows multiple entries and stays of up to 90 days per visit, with a total validity of one year.

  • You must apply at least 3 days before travel

  • The fee includes health insurance.

  • You can use air, land, or sea to enter Saudi Arabia

  • Required documents: valid copyright (6 months validity), photo, email, payment card, return ticket, accommodation info

  • For Umrah visas, additional proof is needed: meningitis vaccine, mahram requirements, etc.


Saudi Visa for Bahrain Citizens

Bahraini copyright holders enjoy visa-free access to Saudi Arabia for visits up to 90 days, thanks to GCC agreements. They simply need a valid GCC ID or copyright

No e‑Visa or visa‑on‑arrival is required for them

  • For Umrah, they still need an Umrah visa (can be obtained via embassy or authorized agents)

  • Foreign residents in Bahrain (non‑Bahraini copyright holders) must apply for a Saudi visa, with options like e‑Visa or through embassy


 

How to Apply: Brunei vs. Bahrain Citizens





























Country Visa Requirement Application Method Stay Duration
Brunei e‑Visa required Apply online at official portal Up to 90 days per visit, valid 1 year
Bahrain No visa required (GCC citizen) Present GCC copyright or ID at border Up to 90 days per visit
Bahrain resident (non‑citizen) Visa required Apply online or via embassy in Bahrain Typically up to 90 days (tourist visa)

Useful Tips & Common Issues

  • Brunei citizens should apply online well before departure and track their application closely.

  • Make sure your copyright is valid for at least six months.

  • For Bahrain citizens, simply carrying your GCC copyright or ID is enough—no fees or e‑visas required.

  • If you're a non-Bahraini resident in Bahrain (e.g., an expat), apply via the Saudi embassy, e‑Visa portal, or travel agencies

  • Some nationalities face portal issues; using the older MOFA site or authorized agents can help


Why the Difference? – GCC Freedom of Movement

Bahrain is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which allows visa-free travel between member states, including Saudi Arabia, for their citizens
Brunei is not part of this agreement, so its citizens need to apply for a Saudi e‑Visa.
