Last week, Saudi Arabia announced that Hayya Card holders will be able to visit Saudi Arabia for up to 60 days.
And your trip to the World Cup could turn into a trip of a lifetime around the GCC, as the UAE has announced it is also offering a multiple-entry tourist visa to spectators.
Last night (Tuesday August 30), the UAE Government Media Office revealed that Hayya Card holders attending a match can apply for a UAE multiple-entry tourist visa.
With the visa, Hayya Card holders gain entry and can stay in the United Arab Emirates for up to 90 days from the date of issuance.
The special UAE tourist visa allows for multiple entries during its validity, meaning you can travel to and from Qatar for matches, or to other countries in the region.
