Oman eVisa overview: routes and preparation
Oman’s online visa service begins with a visa-eligibility process that asks about the nationality shown in the passport and, where applicable, residence in a GCC country. This first check helps identify which routes may be available.
The service describes unsponsored tourist, sponsored tourist, GCC-resident tourist and express pathways. Conditions can differ by nationality, sponsor, residence status, length of stay, purpose and entry route.
A normal passport should generally have at least six months of validity before entry. Prepare a complete application early, keep the reference and follow the conditions of the issued visa at the border.
Oman eVisa preparation checklist

Current-rules reminder: Visa categories, required information, fees, processing guidance and entry conditions can change. Check the live travel service and your airline or border instructions before departure.
