Step-by-Step Application Process

Verify Eligibility

Ensure you hold a valid, used visa or residence permit from an approved country (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, or Schengen). The visa must be valid for the duration of your stay in Oman.

Arrive at Muscat International Airport

Upon landing, proceed to the designated Visa on Arrival counters or use the self-service kiosks before reaching immigration.

Pay the Fee and clear Immigration

Present your Indian passport, the qualifying visa, and your premium travel documents. Pay the visa fee (approx. 5 to 20 OMR depending on the duration) using a credit card and receive your entry stamp.

Required Documents

—Valid Indian passport (minimum 6 months validity beyond the intended date of departure from Oman)
—A valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, or Schengen
—Confirmed round-trip flight reservations
—Proof of premium accommodation (e.g., confirmed bookings at luxury resorts in Muscat or Salalah)
—Proof of sufficient financial means to support your luxury stay
—Travel health insurance covering your time in Oman

Important Tips

•While Visa on Arrival is available for eligible travelers, you can further expedite your arrival by applying for an e-Visa in advance through the Royal Oman Police portal using the same qualifying documents.
•Payment at the airport kiosks or counters is typically preferred via credit or debit card; ensure your cards are authorized for international transactions.
•Keep physical copies of your hotel bookings and onward flights readily accessible, as immigration officers frequently request them to verify the premium nature of your visit.
•Enhance your arrival by arranging an exclusive airport meet-and-greet service and a private chauffeur to transfer you directly to your luxury hotel.

Easiest Way to Get It

Ensure a completely seamless entry by utilizing a premium travel concierge who can process an e-Visa on your behalf prior to departure and arrange VIP fast-track services upon your arrival in Muscat.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
