have introduced a simlar ruling for Qataris entering the UK it is beginning to sound like a tit-for-tat ruling.
Not unlike the situation that arose when the law that Brits were required to obtain visas to enter Qatar was introduced.
Previously visas were not required.
The UK introduced the requirement for Qataris to obtain visas to comply with an EU law. Qatar responded, not surprisingly with like for like.
I wonder when the UAE will get round to doing it.
