Embassies · Bahrain Financial Harbour, Bahrain
The Israeli embassy in Bahrain.
To process official entry visas, secure notarizations, or manage governmental paperwork for travel, employment, and business ties with Israel.
Established as a direct result of the historic Abraham Accords signed in late 2020, the embassy marks a major milestone in Middle Eastern diplomatic relations. The permanent headquarters were officially inaugurated in September 2023 during a formal visit by Israel's Foreign Ministry. Inside, visitors see a modern corporate diplomatic environment housed in Bahrain’s primary financial hub. The facility handles diplomatic correspondence, commercial collaboration, and citizen support, acting as a bridge to foster economic and security partnerships in the region.

Local tips
- Double-check your photo size requirements before arriving; Israel requires specific dimensions (5x5 cm) that differ from standard Schengen or UK formats.
- Security processing at the ground floor lobby is thorough and takes time; arrive at least 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment slot.
- Non-Bahraini GCC residents can often submit their primary application paperwork via email, but must coordinate passport routing securely.
