The Emirati government announced an eVisa for residents of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and their companions.
Key Points:
Additional Information: As BAL reported, a new GCC tourist visa called the GCC Grand Tours visa is in development that will allow foreign nationals to travel on one multiple-entry tourist visa through the six GCC member states. Additional details are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected that the visa may allow for an extended 30-day tourism stay — longer than the currently permitted maximum — with no additional fees to apply for eligible travelers who hold a passport valid for at least six months. It is expected to launch in late 2024 or early 2025 to boost tourism in the region.
