Gulf Countries to Introduce Single Visa System for Tourists
In a historic decision, the Gulf Cooperation Council has announced the implementation of a unified tourist visa for visitors to the Gulf countries. The announcement came following the Gulf Summit in Qatar, where the GCC authorized the interior ministers of its member states to introduce a single visa system.
The Supreme Council of the Gulf States welcomed the efforts made by the Home Ministers Committee on the Integrated Tourist Visa and approved the decision to implement the visa system. The council also empowered the Home Ministers to take the necessary steps to implement the unified tourist visa.
Under the new system, individuals holding a visa or residence permit in any of the Gulf countries will be allowed to visit any of the six GCC member states, namely Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
This breakthrough decision is expected to simplify the visa process for tourists and promote tourism across the Gulf region. The unified visa system is a significant step towards enhancing cooperation and collaboration among the Gulf countries.
