Apply for your Oman eVisa online

Many travelers require a visa to enter Oman, though the Sultanate offers visa-free entry to over 100 nationalities for stays up to 14 days (subject to specific conditions like hotel booking and health insurance). For stays longer than 14 days or for those not on the visa-exempt list: Eligible countries: Citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and EU nations can apply for various eVisa types (Single or Multiple Entry). GCC residents: Residents of Gulf Cooperation Council countries can apply for a specific GCC Resident eVisa if they hold a valid residency permit and work in an approved profession. GCC citizens: Citizens of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain do not need a visa to enter Oman.

If you remain in the airport transit area and do not pass through immigration, you generally do not need a visa. However, if your transit time is long and you wish to leave the airport or stay in a hotel outside the transit zone, you must obtain a valid eVisa or transit visa.

Visa-free entry is available for 14 days for over 100 nationalities. However, official Royal Oman Police (ROP) guidelines stipulate strict conditions to qualify for this: You must have a confirmed hotel reservation, health insurance (covering COVID-19/emergency), and a return ticket. Unlike the 30-day eVisa, the 14-day visa-free entry cannot be extended or converted to another visa type.

You will receive your approved Oman eVisa as a PDF document via email. It will display your reference number and personal details. It's recommended to print a physical copy of this document to present to the immigration officer at the border. The officer will then issue you a final entry permit after verifying your documents. If you applied through iVisa, you can also find a copy of your approval PDF in your dashboard.

Stay duration depends on the visa type issued: 14-day Visa on Arrival: Allows a stay of up to 14 days. 10-day Tourist Visa (26A): Allows a stay of up to 10 days. 30-day Tourist Visa (26B): Allows a stay of up to 30 days. One-year Multiple Entry Visa (36B): Allows multiple entries with a stay of up to 30 days per visit. The visa must typically be used to enter Oman within 6 months of the approval date.

Extensions are possible for some eVisa types but are not guaranteed. You can apply for a one-time extension for the 30-day Tourist Visa at the Royal Oman Police visa office at the airport or at various service centers in Muscat. Overstaying without an official extension results in a fine (typically 10 OMR per day). It is highly recommended to finalize any extension before your current visa expires.

The Omani government usually processes eVisas within 24 to 48 hours. With iVisa, you can get your Oman eVisa in as fast as 15 minutes.

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual visa. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

Common reasons for rejection include a blurry passport scan, a passport that expires in less than 6 months, or inconsistent personal data. If the government rejects the application, the government fee is generally non-refundable. iVisa mitigates this risk by providing an expert review of your documents to ensure they meet the specific Omani government standards.
