Al-Badawi: Gulf Citizens Soon Exempted from Schengen
It is expected that the exemption for citizens of five Gulf countries—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait—from the Schengen visa will be announced soon during the second Gulf-European summit scheduled in Riyadh on October 24, 2026. Statements indicate that the visa-free travel procedures for these countries are now "very close," and that the summit may witness a significant step in this matter to enhance tourism exchange and mobility between the Gulf and Europe. Currently, only citizens of the UAE have the ability to travel to Schengen area countries without a short-stay visa. This move comes as part of efforts to strengthen cooperation between the Gulf and the European Union.
