A visa is a permit document allowing a foreign national to temporarily reside in the territory of a state. Most foreign nationals require a visa to visit Oman. However, there are exceptions for citizens of 103 countries who can enter without a visa for stays of up to 14 days.

Oman has currently ceased issuing visas on arrival and replaced them with e-visas. Therefore, it is recommended to apply in advance, regardless of whether the visa is electronic or traditional. But if you are a citizen of a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country, you can obtain a visa on arrival by filling out a paper form at the border.

Preparing for a trip to Oman requires special attention to visa regulations, especially for citizens of countries subject to visa restrictions. The government of Oman periodically makes changes that require citizens of certain countries and regions to obtain a visa in advance, even for short-term visits.

A visa-free regime allows citizens from a list of 103 countries and territories to enter Oman and stay there without a visa for up to 14 days. This requires compliance with a number of criteria, including advance accommodation booking, valid medical insurance, and return tickets.

An electronic visa is available to citizens of about 220 countries, including EU countries. There is also an opportunity for individuals with residency in the Persian Gulf countries or valid documents issued by Schengen Agreement states, the USA, the UK, Australia, and Canada.

For those who cannot use an electronic visa, we will help to arrange a standard visa through the consulate or embassy. It is important to regularly check the current visa regime of Oman for your country and ensure that your documents fully meet the requirements.

The duration of stay and the validity of the visa in Oman depend on the type of visa obtained, the purpose of the visit, the duration of the planned stay, and the visitor's nationality.

Visitors who have obtained an electronic visa can stay in Oman for tourism or business trips for up to 30 days. An electronic visa can be either single-entry or multiple-entry. A single-entry electronic visa typically has a validity of 1 month with the possibility of staying in the country for up to 30 days. A multiple-entry electronic visa issued for a year allows multiple trips to Oman, with each stay not exceeding 30 days.

For longer stays in Oman for predefined purposes such as work, study, or family reunion, special long-term visas are required. The validity and conditions of stay for such visas are determined individually according to their type and the documents provided.

The validity of the visa can be 90, 180, or 365 days, which means that during this period you can enter and leave Oman. However, the maximum duration of stay in the country should not exceed 30 days per entry.

Thus, for successful planning of a trip to Oman, it is necessary to carefully study the requirements for the type of visa that best suits your plans for staying, as well as to clarify the terms of its validity and the permitted duration of stay.

When you plan a trip to Oman, it is important to consider the cost of the visa. The price of the visa depends on several factors, including:

• Visa type;
• Applicant's nationality;
• Consular fee;
• Service fee;
• Optional services such as filling out an online visa application, arranging valid international medical insurance, and priority service;
• Processing time.
