Cooperation Council (GCC)<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> country, you can travel to Qatar with special visa facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This article provides comprehensive information on the <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Qatar Visit Visa for GCC Residents<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, guiding you through the eligibility criteria, application process, and rules and regulations for obtaining this visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Introduction to Qatar Visit Visa for GCC Residents<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Qatar offers a 30-day single-entry visa on arrival to residents of GCC countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This visa-on-arrival facility, a convenient <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and hassle-free option for citizens of the six GCC countries<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, is a testament to Qatar&#8217;s commitment to facilitating travel for its regional neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To use the visa-on-arrival facility, <strong>GCC residents must meet specific criteria<\/strong>, including a valid passport and residency permit.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Qatar Ministry of Interior reconfirmed the GCC visa-on-arrival scheme for 2026, with stricter verification of GCC residency professions at the border.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility for Qatar Visit Visa<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Various factors determine the eligibility for the Qatar Visit Visa:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Firstly,<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the applicant must be a resident of a GCC country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Secondly,<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> their passport must be valid for at least six months from entry into Qatar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> GCC residency permit must also be valid for at least three months from entry.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Qatar updated its GCC-approved professions list in 2026, adding medical, engineering, and IT categories and restricting certain labor professions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The applicant&#8217;s profession<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, as stated on their GCC residency permit, must also be among the approved professions listed by the Qatari government.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Joint Visa Agreement: Qatar and Oman<\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Qatar offers a joint visa to citizens of certain countries<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> as part of the joint visa agreement between the State of Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This visa is <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">issued upon arrival, valid for 30 days<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and allows multiple entries to Qatar and Oman.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It can also be extended<\/span><span
