Hello There-
I got my 5 yr multiple visa to enter Bahrain on Feb 11th. How long do i have to enter Bahrain before the visa gets invalid? 1 month 2 months ? In other words What is the time frame within which i have to enter Bahrain in order to activate the visa? Accordingly i can make my travel plans.
Thanks

As far as I know, there is no activation timeline for visit visas.聽 As long as the visa is valid, you can enter.聽聽Unless it says otherwise on the visa itself.

Usually visit visa validity is 3 month ,you must use it within stipulated period or else visa will be expired,聽 please check the condition on NPRA web site

The 3 month validity is for visit visas that are time limited e.g. 1, 3, 12 months etc.聽 5 year visas are different and are generally open.聽聽 These are given either to US nationals or to paper CPR holders.

Thanks for the info-You are very helpful and I usually watch for YOUR answers.
I emailed the Bahrain Visa website and they replied back saying validity is 1 month. They may have changed the rules - but yes you are right- 5 yr multiple in the past did not have a time limit to activate.
In any case- will make plans to enter within 1 month.
