Assistance in obtaining an e-Visa

Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲

Since March 2018, only the e-Visa allows one or more entries to the Sultanate of Oman. The classic visa is no longer issued by the Omani Embassy or on arrival in the country. It is not a request for authorisation to obtain the Oman visa on the spot but a genuine electronic visa issued by the Royal Oman Police, which will be issued to you online and which must be presented on boarding and on arrival in the Sultanate of Oman.

Since December 2020, 103 nationalities have been visa-exempt for stays of up to 14 days in Oman.
