Travelers will soon be able to explore six Gulf countries with a single visa, as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) introduces a unified, Schengen-style tourist visa covering Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait. This major step aims to simplify travel across the region and significantly boost tourism by offering seamless access to diverse experiences—from futuristic cityscapes and luxury resorts to desert landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
The unified visa will allow tourists to move freely between the six member states without needing separate entry permits, making the Gulf more accessible than ever. The initiative is designed to position the region as a competitive global tourism hub, encouraging longer stays and multi-destination travel within the GCC.
The official launch is expected soon, with final details on visa requirements and rollout dates to be announced. This move reflects growing regional cooperation and a shared commitment to enhancing tourism infrastructure, offering visitors a chance to discover the unique yet interconnected charm of each Gulf nation under a single travel document.
