Transit at Bahrain for Indian Citizen

Transit at Bahrain for Indian Citizen - Black woman waiting for train on underground platform

I have an Indian Passport with valid Schengen Visa. I booked my return flight from Hamburg to Delhi via kiwi.com.

Now it's a long multi flight ticket - Hamburg (Pegasus) - Istanbul (Pegasus) - Bahrain (Etihad) - Abu Dhabi (Etihad) - New Delhi

Would I need a transit visa in Istanbul, Bahrain or Abu Dhabi? My understanding is that I might most likely need one for Bahrain, as I would have to change airlines there. But if I do not check in any luggage and only carry a cabin bag, would I still need a transit visa because every airport I have layover less than 3 hours.



Best Answer

Here are your visa requirements:

  • Hamburg - Istanbul; None, you will get stamped exit on your Schengen visa.

  • Istanbul - Bahrain; If you are departing from the same airport, none. If you are departing from different airports then you will need a visa for Turkey. Indian nationals can apply for an e-visa online at https://www.evisa.gov.tr

  • Bahrain - New Delhi (transit in Abu Dhabi); you will need a visa for Bahrain, as Pegasus does not have transit agreements with Etihad. You can get this visa online from https://www.evisa.gov.bh/ - you do not need a visa for Abu Dhabi as you will be in transit.
