Indians to get visa on arrival for Bahrain grand prix

DUBAI: Indians will be granted visa on arrival for the formula one Bahrain grand prix event next month, the Bahrain government has announced.

India's name figures in the list of 46 countries released for the contest that takes place from April 4-6. Expatriates living in the Gulf Cooperation Council ( GCC) countries can also obtain an F1 visa on arrival, organisers said in a statement released on the news agency.

The two week multiple re-entry visa can also be used for entry into Bahrain between March 23 and April 6.

In order to make the process at the entry point smoother, citizens of these countries should utilise the online service to obtain their visas prior to arrival, organisers said.

Citizens of other countries must have a guarantor to obtain a visa. The guarantor can be a Bahraini commercial entity or a Bahraini individual.
