  • The GCC Grand Tourist Visa will let foreign visitors, including Indians, travel across all six Gulf countries with one permit.
  • The six countries are UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait, making it similar to Europe’s Schengen visa.
  • The GCC secretary-general said the visa will “see the light soon”, but no specific launch date has been announced yet.
  • The visa’s cost, validity, application process and final eligibility rules are still yet to be announced.
