Oman Visa for Indians Living in the UAE

Indian passport holder with UAE residence? Which Oman visa fits you — tourist e-visa, the simpler resident route, and what to know when driving via Hatta or Al Ain.

Quick answer

Indian passport holders living in the UAE may qualify for an unsponsored Oman e-visa or a visa at the border, depending on their UAE residence. If you don't qualify, or want certainty before you set off, the Oman tourist e-visa (10 or 30 days) is the usual route — our desk arranges it before you travel. Driving via Hatta or Al Ain? Border fees apply on both sides, and your car insurance must cover Oman.
