Oman visa for GCC residents
The Oman eligibility wizard asks whether the traveller is resident in a GCC country, listing Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The eVisa FAQ separately lists a tourist visa for GCC residents.
A residence card, passport and travel purpose should be prepared together. The available route can depend on whether the person is the main traveller or a companion, the profession or status shown in the live questions and the validity of documents.
GCC residence is not the same as GCC citizenship, and a short visit to a Gulf country does not automatically create resident eligibility. Answer the wizard accurately.
