A GCC Resident eVisa is an electronic visa that allows residents of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to travel to a member or associate member country more easily.

The eVisa enables these residents to apply for and receive their travel visa online, without the need to visit a consulate or embassy, thereby simplifying the travel process within the GCC region.
