“A single visa will promote the GCC economy and will ease the movement of investors,” MP Kamel Al Awadi said. “The GCC countries can agree on two types of visas, a regular one and a golden one,” he said, quoted by Kuwaiti daily Al Watan on Sunday.
The “regular” visa will be issued to Arabs and foreigners and their families living in one of the six members of the GCC, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
“Thanks to this visa, they can visit any of the other GCC member countries. However, the total number of days they can spend in the other GCC countries should not exceed three months,”
Heads of companies, advisors and teachers could benefit from the visa scheme.
The “golden” visa is valid for one year and should be issued to foreigners holding advanced positions, including doctors, investors, agency owners and people working directly with ministers, the lawmaker said.
