Oman visa and entry requirements for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens

For US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens, Oman currently offers visa‑free entry for stays up to 14 days. If you plan to stay longer, you can get a visa on arrival for up to 30 days, usually with a fee. Always confirm the latest rules with your government’s travel advice before you book, as requirements can change.

The table below summarises the standard entry options for the six nationalities covered on this page. The 14‑day visa‑free window suits most short trips; the visa on arrival covers longer itineraries.

On arrival at Muscat or Salalah airport you will go through immigration and receive an entry stamp. For the 14‑day visa‑free stay, no prior application is needed. For longer stays, you can apply for a visa on arrival at the airport or through the Royal Oman Police e‑visa portal before you fly; the fee is typically around OMR 20 for a 30‑day visa.

Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your arrival date. Some nationalities are also asked to show proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, though this is not always enforced.

Requirements can change with little notice, especially around security or health events. Always check the latest advice from your own government’s travel advisory before you book. Overstaying your visa can result in fines, so keep track of your entry date.

If you are travelling with children, verify whether additional documentation is required. Some nationalities may need a birth certificate or parental consent letter.
