Hi,
I'm working in Saudi Arabia.
I'd like to travel and see surrounding counties like Kuwait, Jordan, UAE, Oman etc.
I have a South African passport and a work visa (Iqama).
The passport definitely has restrictions but does the Iqama allow me access to GCC states without applying for a tourist visa?
I would like to visit Kuwait and Iraq in the near future.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Robin
