Six Gulf nations — UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar — are set to introduce a shared visa, streamlining travel across the region. This initiative aims to simplify entry procedures, allowing tourists to explore multiple countries without the hassle of multiple visa applications. Spearheaded by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the joint visa plan is expected to launch by early 2025, enhancing tourism by facilitating easier access to diverse attractions — from Dubai’s urban splendor to Saudi Arabia’s historic sites and Qatar’s desert adventures.
This collaborative effort aims to boost international tourism, particularly benefiting countries like Bahrain and Kuwait, which currently lack direct US flights. The move reflects a broader trend in global travel facilitation, echoing similar initiatives like Southeast Asia’s proposed multi-country visa. As Gulf nations continue to expand tourist infrastructure and open doors to new experiences, the unified visa promises greater convenience and accessibility for travellers worldwide.
Oman beach resorts such as the lavish Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara stand ready to welcome visitors seeking luxury amidst the Gulf’s cultural and natural wonders.
