Oman eVisa for Canadian Citizens
The introduction of the Oman eVisa system by the Royal Oman Police in 2018 aimed to speed up the process of getting an obligatory travel authorization to Oman. Canadian citizens eligible for an electronic visa to Oman can submit an online application instead of visiting the nearest Omani Embassy in Canada.
Oman eVisa for Canadian citizens functions on the same terms as a regular visa but is way more convenient to obtain since the whole process can be obtained online. Canadians can travel with an online visa to Oman for business or tourism-related activities.
As the entire application process can be completed fully online, Canadians only need to go through 3 simple steps to enjoy their approved visas. Processed Oman eVisas are delivered to the email address of an applicant immediately upon approval. There is no need to handle all formalities on your own since our eVisa experts can do it for you!
