Allow UK Refugee Travel Document holders to obtain visas for Gulf countries

Petition Details

I want the UK Government to work with Gulf countries (Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia) so that UK Refugee Travel Document holders can apply for tourist visas and travel there like other UK residents.

Additional Information

Most Gulf states don’t recognise UK Refugee Travel Documents, preventing refugees from visiting family or travelling for tourism. The UK should act diplomatically to remove this unfair restriction and ensure equal treatment for refugees.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about entry requirements for other countries are a matter for those countries, not the UK Government or Parliament.
