To finalise your application, you will need to send us a photocopy of the passport with the photo page, valid for at least six months after your arrival in Oman, and a passport photo. Everything will be sent to us in response to the payment confirmation you will receive by email. It may take up to an hour for this to reach you.

Since 21 March 2018, only the e-Visa is available to enter the Sultanate of Oman for tourism purposes. The "classic" visa is no longer issued by the embassies, in order to reduce waiting times at the representations and airports.

Once in Oman, you will need to present these documents to the immigration officer:

• Your passport, valid for at least six months after your arrival in Oman. This must be the same passport that was used to issue the e-Visa.
• your printed e-Visa sent to you by email(apply)

These other documents are not systematically requested:

• a return ticket that proves your scheduled departure from the country
• proof of accommodation booking

All Omani immigration points (air, sea or land) are eligible for e-Visa.

Oman does not differentiate between an adult and a minor. The minor will need to have his/her own passport and thus apply for a standard e-Visa. The fee is the same for an adult and a minor.

If the minor leaves French territory without a legal guardian, he or she must be in possession of an AST (authorisation to leave the country). This document can be requested online, and must be completed by one of the holders of parental authority. When travelling, this form must be accompanied by a copy of the identity document of the legal guardian.

Since 21 March 2018, e-Visa has become the only way to obtain a visa for the Sultanate. In case of refusal or ineligibility, we recommend that you contact the nearest Omani consulate or embassy to establish an entry permit.

If the e-Visa has been refused after an application on our website, the e-Visa application will be refunded in full.

The e-Visa allows one or more stays of up to 30 days in Oman. In some cases, the duration can be extended. Once your e-Visa is issued, you have 6 months to arrive in Oman.

As a general rule, e-Visas for Oman are issued within 72 hours, from the time you send your documents.

This time frame is purely indicative, and not a commitment on our part, as we are dependent on the administrative services of the Sultanate.

The e-Visa for Oman is extendable in certain cases. We describe them on the following page: list of different visa types.

No vaccinations are required for travellers from EU countries. However, it is important to ensure that you are up to date on vaccines such as DPTD and hepatitis B (universal vaccines).

If you become aware of an error before sending your administrative documents, please indicate the correction to be made when sending these documents.

After this time, the corrections cannot be applied. We invite you to contact us for more information.

Once the e-Visa has been issued, its data cannot be changed. You will have to submit a new application if your information differs significantly.

Unfortunately, once paid, an e-Visa application is not refundable. Please contact us for more information.

The data you may enter on this site is protected and only used to obtain the requested e-Visa. Our payment process is secure, and no banking data about you is stored on our servers.
