Oman Visit Visa: Important Information for Travelers

Visitors to Oman must obtain a Visit Visa before traveling, as stated by the Sultanate of Oman Police (ROP). Travelers are kindly requested to get their e-Visas online before their journey.

Oman Visa on Arrival

Oman Visa on arrival is now an exception, and e-Visas are preferred and should be used wherever possible.

How to Apply for an Oman Visit Visa

Travelers need to visit the online government portal or any authorized visa agency to upload their passport copy and photograph and pay the Oman Visit Visa fee for an unsponsored tourist visa.

Additional Details from Royal Oman Police

  • On arrival visas are only issued as an "exception to the rule".
  • Applications can be for unsponsored or sponsored tourist visas, including GCC resident tourist visas.
  • The e-Visa process takes up to 48 working hours.
