Bahrain adds Georgia, Ukraine and Malawi to travel red list

Bahrain will add three countries – Georgia, Ukraine and Malawi – to its travel red list starting Thursday, August 12.

Passengers from red list countries, including those who have transited through these countries in the preceding 14 days, are prohibited from entering the kingdom, with the exception of citizens or residents of Bahrain.

Those who are eligible for entry from these countries must present a negative PCR test result, with a QR code, administered within 48 hours of their departure for the kingdom.

Further testing is required upon arrival and on the 10th day of their mandatory quarantine. The payment for the testing may be made on arrival or through the ‘BeAware Bahrain’ app.

Quarantine centres licensed by the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) have been made available for passengers who do not have a permanent address in Bahrain.
