Bahrain's public eVisa country list confirms the route type, while the FAQ says exact validity and period of stay depend on the visa type shown after completing the eligibility flow.

The Liberia Visa on Arrival portal says VoA approval is valid for entry within 3 months, the visa is valid for a single visit only, and the stay validity is determined by the airport officer based on the estimated visit time: 30 or 90 days. If there is a Liberian embassy in the traveller's country, the same portal requires applying directly at the embassy rather than through the VoA portal.

Malaysia Immigration's visa-requirement page does not list this nationality among countries required to apply for a visa to enter Malaysia.
