Russia Joins Allies in Requesting Visa Extensions for Gulf Travelers
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Russia has joined France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Spain and other nations in demanding that travelers from the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Iraq receive a 30‑day visa extension and have overstay penalties waived.
The move comes amid the second round of the Iran‑Israel conflict, which has disrupted travel and tourism worldwide. The countries cited the need to protect stranded visitors and to mitigate the impact of the conflict on international travel.
No further details were provided about the specific mechanisms or timelines for implementing the extensions, but the collective request signals growing concern among Western and European governments about the safety and mobility of Gulf nationals abroad.
