Oman Visa for Indians: Tourist e-Visa & Options

Which Oman visa an Indian passport holder needs — the 10- or 30-day tourist e-visa, simpler options for GCC residents and US/UK/Schengen visa holders, family visits, documents and refusal reasons.

Quick answer

Most Indian passport holders use an Oman tourist e-visa (10 or 30 days) arranged before they fly on the Royal Oman Police system. If you live in another GCC country, or hold a valid US, UK, Schengen, Canada, Australia or Japan visa or residence, you may qualify for an unsponsored e-visa or a visa on arrival. Driving in from the UAE? Border rules and fees apply at the crossing.
