Gulf visas • Application preparation and follow-up service
The unified GCC visa (known in the media as the “Gulf Schengen”) had not been officially launched as of the date this page was updated in November 2026. Here we gather the latest official announcements, and you can register your interest on WhatsApp so we can notify you as soon as it launches.
The unified GCC tourist visa is a project the GCC countries approved in principle in 2023. The idea is to let a tourist visit the six GCC countries with a single visa. Saudi officials had earlier spoken of targeting 2026 for its launch.
On September 6, 2026, the GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi stated in Riyadh that the visa would be launched “soon”, without announcing a date, fees, procedures or period of validity. We have found no official announcement of the launch as of November 2026.
Some websites circulate news about a pilot phase or specific prices, but these do not come from an official body. That is why we do not publish any fees or durations before the official announcement, and we do not accept any application or payment for this visa before it is launched.
Until it launches, you can travel with a separate visa for each country, and we help you coordinate an itinerary that combines more than one Gulf country through the Gulf visas page. Register your interest on WhatsApp, and we will contact you as soon as the official announcement of the conditions and procedures is issued.
Types and options
A single tourist visa to visit the six GCC countries, according to the project's concept; the entry type, duration and fees have not been officially announced.
Until it launches, you get a visa for each country separately: UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
Send us your nationality and travel plan, and we will notify you as soon as the official announcement of the conditions is issued, with no advance payment.
Interest registration
No official documents have been announced yet; the following is enough for us to notify you at launch.
Register your interest
Registering your interest is free and does not mean a booking or priority, and we do not ask for any payment before the official announcement.
