Single Visa For All 6 Countries of Gulf


The Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) is expected to introduce a single unified visa for all the 6 countries of Gulf.
This visa will be same like of European visa which allows to visit all the European countries on single Visa.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is expected to introduce a unified visa that would allow tourists to visit all six member-countries, which are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.
Najeeb Al-Shaamesi, director general of the Higher Advisory Commission at the GCC, told a local newspaper that a consultative committee had stressed the need for a unified GCC tourist visa to promote tourism in the Gulf region.

“The next meeting of the commission, with members of the consultative committee, will approve the final recommendations, which will then be submitted to the GCC leadership for ratification at the summit in the Qatari capital,” Al-Shaamesi said.
A study recently investigated the economic and technical viability of such a visa and recommended that the GCC summit approves it. Once approved, it would allow a tourist to use the visa issued in one GCC nation to visit all the others.

High-ranking business leaders and travel and tourism experts welcomed the proposal.
“This will be like a Schengen visa that allows a traveler to visit most of the European countries with a single visa,” said Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, a Shoura Council member and former chairman of the Asharqia Chamber. “It is a welcome step and will ease tourist travel across the region. It will provide a much-needed boost for the tourism industry.”
Dammam-based travel industry veteran Abdullah Abu Khamseen described it as a step in the right direction. “This will help promote the region as a good travel destination,” he said.
“Someone traveling from a far-off place generally likes to spend at least two weeks at a tourist destination. If this person comes to Bahrain, there is not much to do beyond four days. He or she would definitely want to spend time in other countries in the region which they cannot do currently with a single visa,” said Abu Khamseen.
He said this would also apply to those traveling to Saudi Arabia for Umrah.
“After spending a week in Saudi Arabia, they can go to Oman, Bahrain, or the UAE with the same visa. This will lead to greater movement of tourists and will boost the region’s local economies,” he said.
“When we combine the unified visa with tourist attractions in the six countries, this region has the potential to become a magnet for international tourists,” said Abu Khamseen.

British gifted us innovative techniques of quality military recruitment and we ruined

The standards of Indian military were highest until the early decades of independence viz till 1960s. This can be seen in various episodes of exemplary conduct, great dedication and glorious valor in face of overwhelming odds during initial wars India fought. For instance, in 1948, Indian army won the goodwill of Kashmiri civilians and there was no complaint of human rights violation and in 1962, the unacclimatized, ill-armed, ill-clad and underfed Indian soldiers fought till last man and last round.  This was thanks to creativity and ingenuity of British techniques in recruiting only the best candidates for the officer posts in British Indian military.
