Speaking at the “Security and History Dialogue” conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday, Albudaiwi said the unified visa represents an important step toward strengthening Gulf integration and facilitating the movement of visitors among GCC countries, according to Saudi newspaper Okaz.
He added that the visa would support the tourism sector and enhance the GCC states’ position as an integrated regional destination.
The GCC comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
GCC interior ministers approved the unified Gulf tourist visa project at a meeting in Muscat in November 2023, while the necessary technical and regulatory arrangements for implementing the project are still underway.
