Oman visa requirements for British citizens
United Kingdom citizens need a visa to visit Oman for short stays, and the most common option is the Oman eVisa, which must be obtained before departure. UK travelers may also qualify for the Oman eVisa for GCC Residents if they hold a valid residence permit from an eligible GCC country.
Oman Tourist eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa that allows UK citizens to enter Oman for short-term tourism or family visits. It must be approved before travel and typically permits a stay of up to 30 days, depending on the visa conditions.
Oman eVisa for GCC Residents: an electronic visa option for UK passport holders who are legal residents of a GCC country (such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Bahrain). This visa is also intended for short-term entry and must be approved before arrival.

the system kept saying the application was incomplete but then I got an email saying it was submitted succesfully also the photo of the passport was uploaded succesfully but then the application was refused becasue it was not as per requirements - without being more spefic ... otherwise fine - after a lot of effort I got my express visa in a few hours
Quick services and ease of access. The follow up of team was very professional.
Please be aware that UAE doesn’t stamp visa in the passport, the EID contains all the information needed. You should adjust accordingly.
Speedy, but required info should be clearer to avoid many communications between the client and IVisa team.
Very quick great However later on I realised it’s 50 and only on the Oman Police website But I paid around 265 and for this service Pleased overall but it is costly Thanks
