Regarding reports of a change to the UK visit visa regime, the British Embassy wishes to stress that Passport holders from all Gulf Arab States require a visa to visit the UK for any purpose. There is currently no change to these existing visa requirements. We keep all visa arrangements under constant review and we expect to announce changes to some visa regimes shortly.
