No visa on arrival for GCC residents in UAE from May 15

GCC residence permit holders will not be eligible for the visa on arrival facility at airports in the UAE from May 15,  it is learnt. They should apply for e-visa in order to obtain entry into the UAE, a source said. “However, the new rule will be strictly implemented from September 1 this year only. It may be because the new requirement has not been publicised widely and many people have already bought the tickets and finalised their travel plans,” the source added.
