The different types of tourist visa for Oman

There are 3 main types of tourist visa for Oman, and we'll explain the differences between them so that you can make the right choice before you apply.

Each e-Visa issued must be used within one month. Their "period of validity" only begins when you pass through Omani immigration. Please note that these maximum periods of stay must be respected, or risk paying a fine of 10 OMR (24 €) per day late and permanent exclusion from the country.

26A

Single entry for up to 10 days

Oman no longer offers this visa for exempt nationalities such as France or Belgium. Since December 2020, their nationals have been able to travel directly to Oman and obtain a visa exemption of up to 14 days on arrival.

26B

Single entry for up to 30 days

Some travellers want to stay longer in Oman to discover its sublime secrets, including the desert, oases and lively cities. It differs from the e-Visa 26A only in that it is valid for up to 30 days in the country.

36B

Multiple entries for 1 year

A rarer option, this e-Visa allows the traveller to stay for a maximum of 30 days in any one year from the date of issue.

e-Visas 26A and 26B can be extended once (20 OMR, i.e. 48 €) at the ROP visa information desk (7.30am-2pm Sun-Thu) at Muscat International Airport.
