Oman Tourist and Visit Visa Options for UAE Residents

About Oman

Oman is an Arab country renowned for its modern architecture, rich culture, and deep history. Located in the Middle East, its currency is the Omani Rial.

Many UAE residents and citizens from India, Canada, Pakistan, Bangladesh, France, Germany, South Africa, and other countries travel to Oman for purposes such as employment, tourism, and business.

Visitors can easily apply for an Oman Visit Visa online via Musafirvisa by filling out a simple application form.

Citizens of GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain) do not require an Oman visa and only need to present their GCC passport at immigration.

UAE residents need a visa and a valid passport with a minimum of 6 months validity to enter Oman. Visa types vary based on the purpose of travel.

Types of Oman Visas
