The visa is intended for tourism, short-term stays, or visiting family and friends, with an expected validity period of 30 to 90 days.

Most Gulf bourses fall on US tariff concerns, weaker oil
July 22 (Reuters) - Most Gulf stock indexes dipped on Tuesday, as investors worried about fading prospects of the European Union's trade deal with the United States ahead of a looming tariff deadline, with weak oil prices offsetting strong corporate earnings. The EU is exploring broader counter-measures against the U.S. as prospects of an acceptable trade agreement with Washington wane, according to EU diplomats. U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs around the world risks hurting global economic growth, and with it oil consumption. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index (.TASI), opens new tab retreated 1.3%, after snapping its longest downturn in nearly two years in the previous session as broad sector declines and weaker oil prices outweighed upbeat corporate earnings. Al Rajhi Bank ( opens new tab dropped 1% and oil giant Saudi Aramco ( opens new tab decreased 0.5%. Oil prices declined for a third consecutive session on concerns that a brewing trade war between major crude consumers, the U.S. and the EU, will curb fuel demand growth by reducing economic activity. But Etihad Etisalat ( opens new tab rose 1.9% after posting a 25% rise in second-quarter profit, while Saudi Automotive Services ( opens new tab gained 1.5% following a more-than-twofold-jump in quarterly earnings. Elsewhere, shares of Sport Clubs ( opens new tab surged 24% on their market debut. Saudi Exchange allows 30% fluctuation limit for newly-listed stocks during their first three days of trading. Dubai's main share index (.DFMGI), opens new tab eased 0.3%, marking the third straight session of losses as investors remained cautious ahead of key earnings and locked in profits following a multi-year rally. Index heavyweight Dubai Islamic Bank ( opens new tab dropped 1.2% while budget carrier Air Arabia ( opens new tab fell over 3%, ending a five-session winning streak. In Abu Dhabi, the index (.FTFADGI), opens new tab was under pressure as a wave of earnings releases this week kept many investors on the sidelines. Qatar's stock index (.QSI), opens new tab reversed early losses to finish 1.1% higher, reaching its highest level in more than two and a half years, as nearly all sectors advanced. Banking stocks led the advance, supported by strong earnings. Qatar Islamic Bank ( opens new tab soared 6%, rising for a fourth straight session after reporting upbeat results.

Most Gulf stocks firm as markets brace for pivotal week
July 27 (Reuters) - Most Gulf equities ended higher on Sunday as investors anticipated a critical week ahead, focusing on key corporate earnings and the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting, while President Donald Trump's August 1 trade deadline loomed. Gains were tempered by oil prices slipping to a three-week low, pressuring sentiment in a region where oil remains a key economic driver. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index (.TASI), opens new tab added 0.1%, helped by a 4% jump in healthcare provider Dr Sulaiman Al Habib ( opens new tab and a 2.2% increase in SABIC Agri-Nutrients Co ( opens new tab after the duo reported a rise in second-quarter profit. Elsewhere, Yanbu National Petrochemical Co ( opens new tab gained 2.9% after the firm reported a more than two-fold sequential increase in second-quarter profit. Qatar's stock index (.QSI), opens new tab rose 0.3%, extending its winning streak into the new week after notching gains in all sessions last week, as it climbed to a fresh peak last seen over two and a half years ago. Shares of index heavyweight Qatar International Islamic Bank ( opens new tab jumped nearly 3%, as investors positioned ahead of Monday's dividend eligibility cutoff to secure an upcoming payout. Outside the Gulf, Egypt's blue-chip index (.EGX30), opens new tab - which traded after a session's break - advanced 1.3%, hitting a fresh record high, with Commercial International Bank ( opens new tab advancing 3.3%. Investors across the region are also eyeing the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting, where rates are widely expected to remain unchanged at 4.25%–4.50%, despite renewed political pressure from Trump for cuts. A rise in U.S. inflation to 2.7% in June has clouded expectations for a potential rate reduction in September, with market odds narrowing to nearly 50-50. Fed policy remains closely watched in the Gulf, where most currencies are pegged to the U.S. dollar, making it a key anchor for regional monetary stability.

British Airways flight declares 'emergency' as it's forced to divert
British Airways flight BA1410 from London Heathrow to Belfast declared a mid-air emergency and was forced to divert to Manchester Airport A British Airways service bound for Belfast had to make an unexpected detour when the pilots issued an emergency alert. The BA1410 flight took off from London Heathrow at 08:05 BST on July 26, but around half an hour into the journey, the crew triggered a 7700 emergency code, as reported by AirLive. The aircraft then entered a holding pattern before being directed to Manchester Airport due to what was believed to be a potential depressurisation problem. Emergency services were on standby as the Airbus A319, with a capacity of up to 130 passengers, touched down. Sources indicate that the diversion resulted from a technical glitch in a sensor device, with passengers forced to disembark for thorough inspections by British Airways technicians. An alternative plane was subsequently arranged, allowing travellers to resume their trips after approximately a three-hour delay. Matthew Hall, the managing director of airport transfers app hoppa, has previously noted that compensation entitlements typically hinge on whether the disruption stems from airline faults, such as mechanical defects or staff shortages. Hall remarked, "Since leaving the EU, UK flights are still covered by a similar law that protects passenger's rights when faced with travel delays.", reports Belfast Live. This protection extends to departures from UK airports, arrivals at UK airports on EU or UK carriers, departures from EAA airports, or arrivals in the EU on UK airlines. "If your flight is a non-UK flight that is part of a connection to a UK flight, then you can still claim if you are delayed for more than three hours, you booked the flights as a single booking, and the delay is the airlines fault," Hall elaborates. By law, cancellations with less than 14 days notice entitle you to compensation, depending on the length of the flight route. "With short-haul flights (<1,500km, i.e. Manchester to Dublin) you could be entitled to £220 if arriving at your final destination more than two hours after originally planned, reduced to £110 if arriving within two hours of schedule and announced with more than seven days' notice," Hall explains. This increases to £350 for medium-haul flights (1,500-3,500km i.e. Leeds Bradford to Tenerife South) if you arrive at your final destination more than three hours after originally planned, according to Hall. "Although, this can be reduced to £175 if arriving within three hours of schedule and announced with more than seven days' notice," Hall adds.
