A new visa system makes travel to Gulf countries much easier!

Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have developed a new system called the "Unified Tourist Visa." This system is expected to come into effect at the end of 2025 or early 2026.

Now, with a single application, you can enter all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries. This aims to boost tourism and provide visitors with the opportunity to explore multiple countries.

With the new system, the requirement to apply for separate visas for each country will be eliminated. Applications will be made through a single digital portal.

The visa will only cover tourist trips, short stays, and family/friend visits. It cannot be used for work or long-term residency.

While the validity period of the visa has not yet been finalized, it is expected to be between 30 and 90 days. This new system will provide significant convenience for travelers.
