Australians can now apply for visas to Oman online prior to travelling, a convenient alternative to the current visa-on-arrival system.
The news was announced by the Sultanate of Oman Tourism Australia/New Zealand today, saying it makes for a more ‘seamless arrival’ in Oman.
“Whilst the existing visa-on-arrival is a simple process, the online service makes for a seamless arrival experience meaning visitors can quite simply start their holiday sooner.”
Mona Tannous, Sultanate of Oman Tourism Australia/New Zealand Country Manager
“And with more Australians visiting Oman than ever before, we know they’ll appreciate the precious extra time the online service provides”
Australian passport holders can apply online through the Royal Oman Police Website before they travel. Click here to check it out.
The website takes users through a step-by-step process.
It covers the various types of visas, pricing and permitted length of stays before allowing travellers to submit their application.
“It really couldn’t be simpler.”

A 10-day tourist visa fee is 5.000 Omani Rials – approximately AU$17.00
Sultanate of Oman Tourism reminds New Zealand passport holders that they do not need a visa to visit Oman.
Meanwhile, earlier this month Oman opened a new major promotion up to trade, giving them the first to enter a competition to win a seven-night trip to Oman.
The ‘Open Doors to the Secrets of Oman’ promotion encourages agents to engage with the five core experience pillars that travellers might explore on an Oman holiday – ancient paths; grand adventure; local treasure; total indulgence; and wild at heart.
