Gulf countries extend visas and waive fines amid regional disruptions

Several Gulf countries are extending visas and waiving fines for residents and visitors due to regional disruptions. The UAE is offering an overstay fine waiver until 2026, while Qatar and Kuwait are extending entry and visit visas for travelers affected by airspace closures and other exceptional circumstances. These measures appear to be responses to regional instability, including airspace issues and security concerns following Iran's attack.
