All they will need is a GCC issued passport or ID card upon arrival for entry.
Depending on their country of origin, international travellers may receive entry visas valid for either 30 days, with a grace period of 10 additional days, or 90 days.
For Indian citizens, holding a US visit visa or resident card, or a resident visa from the UK and EU countries can get them a 14-day visa on arrival, with a further two-week extension as necessary.
For the rest, an entry permit remains mandatory, so visitors are required to check the website for further details.
