Sultanate of Oman

Nationals of the 102 countries are exempt from the requirement to hold a tourist visa; your passport will get stamped, but this “visa” is free for stays of up to 14 days and is granted “on arrival”.  There is no need to apply in advance, but if you want to stay for more than 13 nights, then we recommend you apply for a 30 day e-visa, which costs 20 OMR (about £45)

Exempt list here (official government site)

If you do not hold a passport from one of the countries on the list, you will need to arrange a visa through an agency.

Currently those on list 1 are able to obtain a visa upon arrival – at land borders there is no difference in price however at Muscat Airport they cost 1 OMR on top of the visa price.  Annual muti-entry visas can only be applied for online.

If you do not need an agency to apply on your behalf, you should use the official Royal Oman Police (ROP) website here.
