The Isa Town and Muharraq branches of the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs will function from 8 am to 5 pm to process requests of the Visa and Residence Department. Passport Department services at the Isa Town branch will be limited during evening hours to process Bahraini passports, said NPRA.

For collecting residency sticker and Bahraini passport collection service, it is necessary to have personal attendance. All other services are available online, the NPRA statement said.

“Prior appointment is not necessary to visit a branch to fix the residency sticker, given the formalities are completed online in advance,” the authority said. Bahraini passport renewal service and visa services (issuance, transfer, extension and cancellation) are available through eGovernment portal bahrain.bh.

The first issuance of a Bahraini passport, or replacement of lost or damaged passport and travel permits, are available through www.npra.gov.bh. The portal also allows renewal, issuance and cancellation of residency permits. Personal presence, if needed, can be booked in advance through the Skiplino app.

To contact the call centre, dial 17399764 or log on to the National Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul) for enquiries.
