## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — GCC citizens: visa-free entry** (Visa-free)
  UAE Government guidance expressly says GCC citizens do not need a visa to enter the UAE.
  - The traveller must produce a GCC-country passport or national ID card at entry. This is a citizen rule, not a GCC-resident rule.
  - The separate GCC-resident electronic visa applies to qualifying residents and companions and does not alter this GCC-citizen exemption.
  - The reviewed sources do not establish work, residence, transit requiring entry, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, or other special-document treatment.
