Oman Visa for Indians 2026: eVisa Guide, Fees & Requirements

An Oman visa is an official electronic entry permit issued by the Royal Oman Police that authorizes Indian citizens to enter and stay in the Sultanate of Oman for tourism, business, transit, or family visits. The visa is issued as a digital e-Visa PDF linked to your passport number, so no sticker or stamp is placed in your passport. The entire process — application, payment, approval, and delivery — happens online, which makes Oman one of the most accessible visa destinations for Indian travellers. For a complete walkthrough of eligibility and costs, see our Oman visa guide.

Yes. Indian citizens need a visa to enter Oman, and there is no visa-free arrangement for ordinary Indian passport holders. The standard visa-on-arrival facility at Omani airports was discontinued, so the online eVisa is the mandatory route for most travellers. The only exceptions are the special 14-day visa-on-arrival provision for travellers holding a qualifying foreign visa and the 14-day visa-free entry available to Indian residents of GCC countries.

What Is Available and Not Available

Oman offers several visa categories for Indian passport holders. The most commonly used are the tourist eVisa options, which cover the majority of short visits from India.

Oman Tourist Visa

Best for: Indian travelers visiting Oman for leisure, sightseeing, family visits, or short business trips. This is the most popular visa category for Indian citizens. The tourist eVisa comes in two durations — 10 days (OMR 5) and 30 days (OMR 20) — both single entry, with the 30-day visa extendable once for a further 30 days. Applications are submitted entirely online and approval usually arrives within 1–3 working days. For a detailed breakdown of requirements and the application walkthrough, see our Oman tourist visa guide.

Oman Business Visa

Best for: Indian professionals attending meetings, conferences, trade exhibitions, or exploring business opportunities in Oman. The business visa is sponsored by an Omani company or business entity registered with the Royal Oman Police. The sponsor initiates the application on the eVisa portal, and the visa is issued for up to 30 days (OMR 20) or longer depending on the nature of the business activity. An invitation letter from the Omani company is mandatory. For sponsorship requirements and document details, see our Oman business visa guide.

Oman Transit Visa

Best for: Indian travelers passing through Oman en route to another destination who wish to leave the airport during a long layover at Muscat International Airport. The transit visa permits a stay of up to 72 hours and costs OMR 5. You must show a confirmed onward ticket and, if required, a valid visa for your final destination.

Oman Family Visit Visa

Best for: Indian nationals visiting family members who are legal residents or citizens of Oman. The visa is sponsored by the Omani resident, who applies through the ROP eVisa portal using their civil ID. Family visit visas are typically issued for one to three months, depending on the sponsor's status and the relationship.

Document Guidelines

• Scan documents in colour at 100–300 KB per file, in PDF or JPEG format, and name files clearly (for example, Passport_FirstName_LastName.pdf).
• Provide certified English translations for any documents in regional Indian languages.

• For help assembling your document file, our visa experts offer travel insurance and document assistance.

The entire Oman eVisa application takes 15–30 minutes online once your documents are ready. There is no embassy visit, no interview, and no biometrics.

Stage 1: Online Registration, Application and Payment

1. Prepare your digital documents — passport bio-data page scan, photo, flight booking, hotel reservation, and bank statement in the required file sizes.

2. Visit the official ROP eVisa portal at evisa.rop.gov.om. This is the only authorized platform — third-party sites charge inflated fees and are a common source of problems.

3. Create an account with your email address (your login ID), a strong password, your Indian mobile number with +91, and your date of birth.

4. Answer the eligibility questions — whether you are a GCC resident and whether you hold a qualifying US, UK, Schengen, Canadian, Australian, or Japanese visa. The portal then shows the visa types available to you.

5. Fill in the application form — personal details, passport information, employment details, travel dates, port of entry, and address in Oman, all exactly as they appear in your passport.

6. Upload the required documents — bio-data page, photograph, flight booking, hotel confirmation, and bank statement, following the size and format limits.

7. Review and pay — check every detail, pay the fee by card, and submit. You will receive an email with your application reference number and payment receipt.

Stage 2: Approval, eVisa and Travel Preparation

8. Track your application — log in to the portal and check the status: Submitted, Under Process, Approved, or Rejected. Additional document requests appear in your account and by email.

9. Receive your eVisa — approval normally arrives in 1–3 working days as a PDF attached to an email.

10. Verify the details — check that your name, passport number, visa type, validity dates, and stay duration are correct. Report any error to ROP support immediately with your reference number.

11. Print and carry — print at least 2–3 copies of the eVisa, keep one with your passport, and store a digital copy on your phone. You must show the printed eVisa at Oman immigration.

If you prefer, our team can prepare, review, and submit your application for you through our Oman e-visa service, with document checks before submission to avoid the common mistakes that cause rejections.

For eVisa applications, you do not need to visit the embassy or consulate at any stage. The missions in India handle long-stay, work, and student visas, attestation, and consular assistance for Omani citizens.

When to Apply

General Tips

• Apply directly on the official ROP portal — it is cheaper and safer than using agents.
• Book refundable or flexible flights and hotels until your visa is approved.
• Keep your name, passport number, and dates identical across the form, passport, and bookings.
• Upload clear, correctly sized scans — blurry or oversized files are a top rejection reason.
• Apply early during peak season (November–February) when processing slows down.
• Carry a printed eVisa plus a digital copy on your phone.
• INR amounts in this guide are approximate; the portal charges in OMR.

Common Rejection Reasons and Solutions

For the most common reasons applications are refused and how to avoid them, see the common visa rejection reasons guide.

At Omani Immigration

Present your passport and printed eVisa at the immigration counter at Muscat, Salalah, Sohar, or Duqm airports, or at a land border. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit, hotel, and return plans — answer briefly and honestly. GCC residents should show their valid residence permit for visa-free entry. Your passport receives an entry stamp; the eVisa itself is not stamped.

After Arriving in Oman

Keep your passport, eVisa printout, hotel booking, and return ticket accessible during your stay. Oman is a conservative country — dress modestly in public and in religious sites, and alcohol is served only at licensed hotels. The overstay fine is OMR 10 per day, so leave before your visa expires or extend your 30-day visa online before it runs out. For consular assistance, emergency help, or attestation services, contact the Royal Omani Embassy — for full contact details and jurisdiction, see the Oman Embassy in Delhi page.

Oman remains one of the easiest visas for Indian travellers — fully online, no embassy visit, and approval in as little as 1–3 working days. Choose the 10-day visa for a quick break or the 30-day visa for a full holiday, and apply only on the official ROP portal.
