What is the Oman eVisa?

The Oman eVisa is an electronic document, thanks to which eligible travelers may cross the Oman border and stay in the country for a limited period.

The online system is convenient and efficient for applicants, as they don't need to visit the embassy or consulate.

The process of getting an Oman eVisa consists of providing the necessary information in the form, attaching the documents, covering the fee, waiting for processing, and receiving the file with the visa via email.

FAQs

• Do I need an Oman eVisa?

  You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

• Do I need the eVisa to transit through Oman?

  Oman electronic visa for transit may be necessary for foreign nationals who are leaving the transit zone.

• What documents are required for the Oman eVisa?

  The basic set of documents required from all travelers is a clear color copy of the passport (all four corners of the biodata page must be visible, without glare or reflections) and a high-quality passport-style photograph (portrait orientation, white background, no reflections). Citizens of certain countries can apply for an Oman eVisa only if they hold a valid GCC residence visa. A separate group of travelers is eligible for the Omani eVisa provided they possess a valid GCC residence visa or a valid visa issued by a Schengen country, Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, or the United States.
  Applicants applying under the GCC residence category must provide a copy of their valid residence permit (residence card) and a GCC ID. Those holding a supporting visa from one of the listed countries must submit a clear copy of that visa.
  For minors, extra documentation or a parent/guardian visa may also be requested. Please note that document quality is crucial—unclear scans, dark images, or photos with reflections may lead to application rejection.

• My profession is not approved by the Immigration Office – what does it mean?

  The Royal Oman Police maintains a list of occupations associated with GCC residence visas that are eligible for the eVisa process. If your occupation is not included on this list (for example, “housewife” or “student”), the application cannot be processed. In such cases, an approved eVisa of the spouse or guardian is required. If you are unable to provide this document, we will unfortunately not be able to continue with the application process.

• How long is an online visa for Oman valid?

  The online Oman visas stay valid for 30 days (one month) for all of the single-entry permits. On the contrary, the multiple-entry eVisa stays effective for a whole year and allows its holders to travel to Oman numerous times.

• How long can I stay in Oman with an eVisa?

  The permitted length of the stay in the Sultanate of Oman for tourists with electronic entry permits differs based on the online visa type they choose. There are 10-day and 30-day stays available.

• Why is my application still being processed – it has been several days since I applied?

  Oman eVisas are usually processed around three weeks before the declared arrival date to ensure that travelers can use the full validity period of the visa. If your application was submitted well in advance, it may remain on hold until your travel date approaches. Once the Immigration Office begins active processing, the standard processing time is about 3 business days. Your approved eVisa will be sent to your email address as soon as it is issued.

• How will I receive my eVisa after approval?

  Once approved, your eVisa will be sent directly to the email address provided in the application form.

• How can I check the status of my application?

• My application status shows "Finished" – where is my eVisa?

  Once your application status shows "Finished", the eVisa will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

• What should I do if my eVisa has been rejected?

  Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the Omani eVisa. In this case, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Oman to apply for a traditional visa.
