Prepare the application
Check passport and GCC residence validity, use the current official permit category and prepare a compliant photo and supporting records.
- Confirm the official immigration channel.
- Check residence and passport validity.
- Review entry and stay conditions after approval.
Before you travel
Permit rules can change close to departure. Confirm the issued visa details and carry the documents used in the application.
