INFORMATION TO HELP YOU BOOK YOUR STAY IN THE SULTANATE

Tourist Visas

Tourist visas must be booked online prior to travel. The onsite visa bureau at the airport has a limited service.
Residents of most countries can now apply online for a tourism e-visa. The visa options include 10 days, 30 days or multi-entry.
The process is quick and simple, with the visa usually issued in a day or two. It is the runner’s responsibility to keep up to date with any changes to the visa application process.
