Official wording

ما لم يكن ذلك بتصريح من مدير الهجرة لا يجوز لمأمور الهجرة أن يمنح إذناً لأجنبي بالنزول إلى أراضي البحرين إلا إذا كان في حيازته جواز سفر صالح أو وثيقة سفر أخرى معتبرة عليه أو عليها تأشيرة صالحة لدخول البحرين

Aevamo’s reading

The Aliens (Migration and Residence) Law 1965 creates the obligation: Article 5(1) requires every alien to hold a valid entry visa to land in Bahrain, and Articles 3 and 27 give the Ruler and the immigration authorities the power to permit and exempt entry. The ministerial decisions and the eVisa eligibility lists operate under the authority this statute creates.

Aliens Law article 5(1) forbids an immigration officer from granting an alien permission to land without a valid passport carrying a valid entry visa; none of these issuers appears on the eVisa on-arrival or online eligibility lists, so no exemption applies and a visa must be arranged before travel.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
