Bahrain visa
Manama
Bahrain runs two separate country lists — one of nationalities that can apply online in advance, another of those who can be issued a visa on arrival — so the first question is simply which list your passport is on. Two things the Kingdom states plainly and we will repeat: holding a visa does not guarantee entry, which is decided when you land, and fees are not refunded if either the application or the entry is refused. Bahrain also warns that no company operates on the government's behalf, and that is right: applications go through the government's own portal. What we do is get the documents in order first, so the application you pay for is one likely to succeed.
