About this tool
Compare Oman's 14-day visa-free entry with the e-visa options, test passport validity and funds, and build the arrival document checklist.
Oman runs two parallel entry systems and picking the wrong one is the usual mistake: citizens of just over a hundred countries enter without a visa but only for 14 days and only with a return ticket, a confirmed hotel booking, health insurance and evidence of funds, while anything longer starts as a Royal Oman Police e-visa bought before departure. This checklist tests your stay against the route you pick, counts six months of passport validity from the arrival date, totals the visa fee for the party and flags when a cheaper or longer option would fit the same trip.

Passport validity is counted from your real arrival date and the shortfall is given in days.
Citizens of just over a hundred countries can, for a stay of up to 14 days, under the visa waiver Oman introduced in 2021. It is conditional on holding a return or onward ticket, a confirmed hotel booking, health insurance covering the visit, and sufficient funds — commonly stated as the equivalent of OMR 500. It cannot be extended.
The published tourist options have been OMR 5 for a 10-day single-entry visa, OMR 20 for a 30-day single-entry visa that can be extended once for a further 30 days, and OMR 50 for a one-year multiple-entry visa allowing up to 30 days per visit. Apply on the Royal Oman Police portal rather than through a reseller.
The 30-day e-visa can be extended once inside Oman for a further 30 days on payment of the extension fee, giving 60 days in total. The 14-day visa waiver and the 10-day e-visa cannot be extended at all, so a longer trip has to start on the right visa rather than being fixed after you arrive.
Health insurance covering the period of your visit is a stated condition of the visa waiver and is asked for with e-visa applications. It matters in practice as well as on paper: private treatment in Oman is paid up front without cover, and the interior is remote enough that evacuation is the expensive part.
