Oman is open to UAE citizens without the need for a visa but residents in the GCC currently need to
be on a list of approved professions or be accompanied by someone who is in order to get an
unsponsored visa.

Citizens of GCC countries can enter Kuwait without a visa by presenting a valid GCC ID card but
those who are non-nationals will need an eVisa or visa-on-arrival.

Qatar allows citizens of more than 100 countries to enter visa-free including those from the UAE.
Lengths of stay vary and conditions will be different depending on your nationality.

And, people travelling to the UAE from other GCC countries are allowed entry for a period of no
longer than 30 days, which can only be extended once with an eVisa.
