United Kingdom: Electronic Visa Waiver Program Expanded

Effective June 1, 2022, Bahrain and Saudi Arabian nationals will be able to use the Electronic Visa Waiver scheme in the United Kingdom. The waiver application must be completed (instead of a visa) prior to a single-entry flight to the United Kingdom and allows stays for up to six months. This change brings Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in line with other Gulf states, whose nationals are also eligible for the Electronic Visa Waiver program.
