It shall be issued on Omani working days within 24 hours unless there are justifications, which hinder the issuing of the visa. A fee of OMR7 will be charged. Visa is valid for 2 weeks and cannot be extended.
For other type of visa, please refer to the nearest Oman embassy / Consulate office.
Update to all readers : For those who are having problem with your visa to enter Oman, please refer to the nearest Oman consulate office or embassy in your respective country. I am neither a representative nor having any sort of connections with The Sultanate of Oman but I have been to Oman for quite a few times. Therefore, I can only provide a very limited information as what you can read in the article.

Hi, I just wanted to know whether the Dubai visa will be sufficent to enter Oman BY LAND ?? I have seen on some other websites that it is not permissible to enter Oman by road unless this is explicitly stated on your Oman visa - I am an ireland passport holder. I plan to go to Dubai next week and I believe I can get a free Dubai visa on arrival at Dubai. I want to know could I then travel on by land to Oman with this Dubai visa. Many Thanks. if you can answer quickly it would help me alot !
Thanks Dara Gilroy for dropping by.
As far as I know, the stamp on our visa will only state ” Allow entry to Sultanate of Oman” and this will waive visa fee to enter Oman. The rest of the procedure will be the same where you have to stamp entry/exit visa in your passport. So, if you travel by land from Dubai to Oman, make sure you stamp exit visa at Hatta, UAE side and after that follow the entry procedure to Oman at Al-Wajaja Terminal.
Hello, I need to travel to Oman this weekend to visit my friend just wanted to know whether the Dubai resident visa will be sufficent to enter Oman BY LAND ??

Hi Anna,
Thanks for dropping by.
Based on your nationality, you would not need to apply for visa anymore because Indonesia is in the list of country which can be granted visa on arrival.
