Visa Policy of The Kingdom of Oman
The visa policy of the Kingdom of Oman regulates the inflow and outflow of foreign nationals and those eligible for visas. This policy determines who can enter Oman and the type of visa they will need. It also clearly states the nationalities that are exempted from visas and those that are not exempted. Based on the Foreigners’ Residence Law of 1995, a visitor not eligible for an electronic visa must apply for a tourist visa or any other type of visa at the Omani embassy in their country.
Furthermore, the law specifies that a foreigner who chooses to stay beyond the number of days agreed under their visa or e-visa arrangement will have to apply for a residence permit while they are in the country, and the foreigner shall lose their rights to residency if they live outside Oman continuously for up to 6 months in a year or 18 months within three years.
Subsequently, the Omani Royal Police, empowered by law to issue visas and residency permits, announced a new online visa system in 2018 for visitors coming into Oman for a short time. This electronic visa is specially designed for tourism and other social engagement that will not exceed a few days or months, depending on their nationality. The e-visa is electronically linked to the visitor’s passport and allows them to enter Oman by land or air. Oman e visa is only for citizens of visa exempt countries not all nationals. If you are ineligible for Oman visa you should apply for a consular visa by visiting a foreign mission to submit a physical visa application
There are three types of e-visas, namely the Single-entry visa, multiple entry visa, and the GCC Resident Single-entry visa, and citizens from more than 220 countries qualify for this visa program. However, travelers from Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia do not require visas to enter Oman according to their visa policy if they have a residency visa issued by any of these countries. The agreement between all Gulf countries allows for free entry and exit for citizens and foreigners alike.
Countries On The Oman e Visa Eligibility
Only applicants who meet the following eligibility criteria will be issued an e visa
- They must be nationals of designated countries
- They must come hang passports issue by their home government which is valid for at least 6 months
- The duration of their stay must be short term not exceeding the legal timeframe
