GCC eyes single visa for visitors
ABU DHABI – A single visa application scheme for visitors to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, similar to the system in Europe, was due to be approved by immigration chiefs last night.
The single visa will allow people to travel across all six Gulf states without the need for separate travel permits, according to the director general of the Kuwaiti General Administration for Immigration.
Brigadier Kamel Al Awadhi told Kuwait’s news agency, KUNA that the single Gulf visa application system had been approved in theory at a recent meeting of undersecretaries at the GCC’s interior ministries in Riyadh
GCC member states are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman.
