Get the Oman visa for Indian citizens

Yes, Indian citizens need a visa to enter Oman. Indian passport holders are not visa-exempt. However, those who hold a valid residence permit in a GCC country (such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Oman) may be eligible for the Oman Visa for GCC Residents, provided their GCC residency is valid and meets Oman’s profession and eligibility criteria at the time of application.

This depends on the document you're applying for.

• Oman Visa for GCC Residents: With iVisa, you can get the Oman Visa for GCC Residents in as little as 2 days, depending on your application details and documentation. Processing may take longer if additional review is required or if the GCC residence permit details need verification. Applicants should ensure their GCC residency is valid for the required period before applying. For timelines on other Oman visas, please contact your nearest Oman embassy.

The Oman Visa for GCC Residents generally allows a short-term stay, typically up to 30 days per entry, subject to approval by Omani authorities. The exact permitted stay is determined at the time of issuance and confirmed upon entry. Overstaying may result in daily fines and potential travel restrictions.

If remaining within the international transit area and not passing immigration control, a visa is generally not required. However, if the traveler intends to leave the airport during transit, clear immigration, or has a long layover requiring entry, a valid Oman visa is required.

Some short-term Oman visas may be extendable from within Oman, subject to immigration approval and payment of additional fees. The extension must be requested before the authorized stay expires. Approval is discretionary, and overstaying without authorization can result in fines and possible entry bans for future visits.
