Visas For Oman

VISAS are required every one in some form except nationals of the Gulf Cooperation Council States.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months before the date of entry into the county this is not required for the following: Nationals of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates holding national identity cards or holders of the Macau (SAR) Travel Permit.

It then becomes a question of whether you have to apply for the visa before you travel or whether you can apply for the visa when you arrive in Muscat.

The following Nationals are permited to apply for a 14 day extendable visa on arrival

Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei Darussalem, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Ecuador, , French Guiana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan, Korea (Rep), Malaysia, Maldives, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Surinam, Switzerland, Thailand, Ukraine, USA, Uruguay and Venezuela.

All EU nationals (except Cyprus, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta and Slovenia)

It is worth noting that whilst you don't need to apply in advance for a visa it can speed things up if you have time to do this... but like all middle east countries this information became outdated the day it was issued so it's always a good idea to check in advance.

The other thing worth noting is that the airport is not the only way to go to Oman, we can also travel in by road, either by car or coach.. it's actually quicker to go from Dubai to Muscat by car rather than plane.
