What Is an Oman Visa?
An Oman visa is an official electronic entry permit issued by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) that lets eligible foreign nationals enter the Sultanate of Oman, within the conditions printed on the visa. If your passport or residency status requires one, you must get it approved before you travel.
Oman is a favourite short getaway for people living in the UAE. Many residents choose it for weekend road trips, mountain drives, desert camping, and a quieter pace than the Emirates.
Types of Oman Visa
Your reason for travel decides which visa you need. FlyOn helps you pick the right category, so your application starts on the right foot.
- Short-Stay Tourist Visa: For tourism, holidays, sightseeing, and short leisure trips to Oman. UAE residents usually apply for this category online through the Royal Oman Police eVisa portal. Depending on your profession and nationality, you may be eligible for the GCC Resident Visa, which is generally issued for up to 28 days. Others can apply for a tourist eVisa for 10 or 30 days with a single entry.
- Business Visa: For meetings, conferences, trade fairs, and other short business visits. Applicants usually need sponsorship or an invitation letter from a company registered in Oman, along with a letter from their UAE employer.
- Family or Friends Visit Visa: For UAE residents visiting relatives or friends who live in Oman. Your host may need to sponsor you, and you may need proof of your relationship and of where you will stay.
- Tourist eVisa (10 or 30 Days): For travellers who do not qualify for the GCC Resident Visa. The 10-day option suits weekend trips from Abu Dhabi or Dubai, while the 30-day option suits longer trips across Muscat, Salalah, and beyond. The 30-day visa may be extendable once, subject to Royal Oman Police rules.
Long-Stay and Residence Visa
For stays longer than the standard visit period, such as work, study, or other approved residence purposes. These cases follow Omani immigration procedures, usually need a sponsor in Oman, and require documents that support the planned stay.
- Multiple-Entry Visa: Suitable for travellers who need to visit Oman more than once for business, family, or regular leisure trips. It allows several entries during its validity, subject to the conditions granted and the stay limit on each visit.
