Welcome to VistoperItalia.it, your main point of reference for getting all the information you need about obtaining a tourist visa for Italy.

On this page, we will guide you through the process of inviting a Bahrain citizen to Italy for tourist purposes.

If you want to invite a friend, a relative or an acquaintance from Bahrain to visit Italy, you need to be aware of a few essential steps.

Formal invitation

The first step concerns the formal invitation. You must fill in the invitation letter in which you clearly state that you are inviting the Bahrain citizen to visit Italy.

The letter should include your full details (name, address, date of birth, telephone number, occupation and citizenship), the visitor’s details, the relationship with the visitor, the purpose of the trip, the expected duration of the stay and information about the accommodation during the stay.

Financial Documentation

It is essential to provide proof of the means of subsistence to ensure that you and your guest have sufficient funds to cover all expenses during the stay in Italy.

This can be demonstrated through a bank guarantee, a document issued by your bank that confirms there are enough funds available.
This bank guarantee serves to reassure the Italian Embassy that your guest will not become a burden on the State during their visit.

 Submitting the documentation to the Italian Embassy in Bahrain

Once you have filled in the invitation letter and obtained the bank guarantee, the next step is to submit these documents to the Italian Embassy in Bahrain. Here are the embassy’s contact details:

We recommend contacting the Embassy to check the opening hours and to ask whether any additional documents are needed.

Visa Application

After submitting the documentation, the Bahrain citizen to whom you are extending the invitation will have to apply for the tourist visa at the Italian Embassy in Bahrain.

The application will need to include:

• A copy of the 2023 invitation letter from the Italian citizen, which must specify the purpose and duration of the stay, the address of the accommodation and the assumption of responsibility for covering the costs of the stay and repatriation.
• Valid passport with a remaining validity of at least six months from the planned date of entry into Italy.
• Visa application form filled in correctly and signed.
• Recent photographs meeting the specifications required by the Italian embassy.
• Invitation letter from the Italian friend or relative.
• Bank Guarantee as proof of sufficient financial means to cover expenses during your stay in Italy.
• Health insurance valid for the period of your stay

Approval Process

Finally, the Italian Embassy in Bahrain will review the visa application. If all the information is correct and complete, the visa should be approved within 30 days.

However, in some cases, approval may take longer, so it is advisable to apply for the visa well before the planned travel date.
Remember, an invitation to visit Italy does not automatically guarantee visa approval.

The final decision rests with the Italian Embassy.

However, if you follow these steps carefully and prepare all the documents properly, you will increase the chances of a successful visa application.
