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.

Background
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.
