Oman eVisa for US Citizens – Requirements and Application Guide

Why Visit Oman?

Oman is rapidly becoming a must-visit destination for adventurous travelers. Once seen as an inaccessible country, Oman now welcomes tourists thanks to the introduction of an electronic visa (eVisa) system for eligible nationalities, including the United States.

Oman Visa Requirements for US Citizens

All US passport holders must obtain an Oman visa before entering the country. Options include business, diplomatic, religious pilgrimage, and tourist visas.

Since February 2018, US citizens can apply for a tourist visa through the eVisa platform without visiting an embassy or consulate.

Key Requirements for an Oman eVisa

• A valid US passport with at least 6 months of validity.
• At least two consecutive blank pages in the passport.
• One recent passport-sized color photograph with a white background, showing a full-face view.
• Personal details (full name, address, date of birth, etc.).
• Passport information (number, expiration date, nationality, etc.).
