The arrangement allows holders to move freely between the two Gulf nations without obtaining separate visas for each destination. Travellers requiring a longer stay can apply for a 30-day extension upon payment of an additional fee, bringing the maximum permitted stay to 60 days under the scheme.

The on-arrival format streamlines entry for eligible nationalities, removing the need for prior consular appointments or advance documentation beyond standard travel requirements.
