Oman: cần biết gì trước chuyến đi

Nhập cảnh và thị thực

Citizens of over 100 countries (incl. US, UK, most EU, China, Turkey, Ukraine) can stay up to 14 days visa-free with a return ticket, accommodation proof and health insurance. Russians have 30 days visa-free under a 2025 mutual agreement. Longer stays and other nationalities need an eVisa (tourist 'unsponsored visit visa') via the Royal Oman Police portal; Indians with certain Western visas or GCC residence may qualify for easier entry.
