For expatriates living in the Gulf
Gulf residents
Built a life in Dubai, Riyadh or Doha? Your passport should travel as well as you do.
Who this is for
Professionals and business owners living in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman who hold a passport that needs visas for Europe and the UK.
Your nationality decides
Whether you can hold Argentine citizenship alongside your own depends on your country of nationality, not your Gulf country of residence.
| If you are | General position |
|---|---|
| Indian | India does not allow dual citizenship; see our India guide |
| Pakistani | Allowed only with countries on Pakistan's approved list; check Argentina's status |
| Egyptian | Keeping Egyptian nationality generally requires permission |
| Lebanese | Generally allowed |
| Russian | Allowed, with notification |
Your advantage
Salaries and business income earned and banked in the Gulf are usually well documented, which makes the source-of-funds part of your file more straightforward.
Documents
You will need police certificates from both your country of nationality and your Gulf country of residence, plus civil documents from home.
