eVisa - GCC Resident (30 Days)

The eVisa for GCC Residents is a specialized entry permit tailored for expatriates who hold valid residency in any of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—namely Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. This visa is designed to simplify travel for non-GCC nationals residing within the region, allowing them to visit the United Arab Emirates for tourism, short-term business, or family visits. By providing an efficient, online application process, the UAE enables GCC residents to enjoy seamless access to the country, significantly reducing the administrative burden typically associated with traditional visa applications for expatriates living in the neighboring Gulf states.

To qualify for this eVisa, applicants must hold a residency permit from a GCC country that remains valid for at least three to twelve months, depending on specific regulatory updates, and a passport valid for at least six months. The application requires a clear scan of the passport, a copy of the GCC residency permit, and a recent passport-sized photograph. Applicants must also ensure they have valid health insurance coverage for the duration of their stay. This visa is a single-entry permit that offers a 30-day stay, with the possibility of extension, making it an ideal solution for GCC-based professionals and families seeking to explore the UAE's diverse offerings.
