Bahrain imposes visas on Qatar visitors
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBahrain imposes visas on travelers from Qatar, which is embroiled in a diplomatic crisis with its Arab neighbors, Bahraini state media reported.
Under Gulf Cooperation Council agreements, citizens of countries in the six-state bloc, including both Bahrain and Qatar, can visit other GCC countries without visas.
But Bahrain’s King Sheikh Hamad bin Issa Al-Khalifa ordered the new rules and urged authorities to strengthen security measures in the tiny Gulf kingdom, the official BNA news agency says.
Bahrain’s Foreign Minister says Qatar’s GCC membership should be suspended until it accepts the demands of its neighbors.
