The aptly named “GCC Grand Tours” visa marks a significant step towards a more integrated tourism experience within the GCC. This multi-entry visa grants access to all six member states: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait.
Benefits of the GCC Grand Tours Visa:
- Simplified Travel: Eliminates the need for separate entry permits for each country, mirroring the successful Schengen visa system in Europe.
- Extended Stays: Allows visitors to enjoy extended stays of up to 30 days in each member nation, fostering deeper exploration of the region’s diverse offerings.
- Tourism Boost: This initiative is expected to significantly enhance regional tourism by attracting a wider range of international visitors.
The GCC Grand Tours visa, unanimously approved by the council in October 2023, represents a strategic move to bolster economic growth within the region. This streamlined visa process is particularly beneficial for expatriate communities residing in the GCC, including a significant Indian population, opening doors for convenient and cost-effective regional travel.
