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!

There are three different types of eVisa to Oman and, therefore, three different prices. Canadian travelers who apply for single-entry visas to Oman pay 69 Euro for a 10-day permit or 99 Euro for a 30-day permit. In turn, those who choose multiple-entry eVisas need to cover a 149 Euro fee.

How long can Canadian citizens stay in Oman with an eVisa?

Canadian passport holders are allowed to enter Oman eitheronce or multiple times, it depends on the type of eVisa to Oman they decide to apply for. Canadian citizens can select a 10-day stay or a 30-day stay eVisa. 

Both single-entry visa permits to Oman stay effective for 30 days, while multiple-entry visas are issued for 365 days.

Oman eVisa requirements for Canadian citizens

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

When applying online, Canadian citizens are only obliged to upload two documents to their online Oman eVisa applications. These documents are as follows:

• the applicant's face photo (phone or PC camera photos are acceptable)
• the Canadian passport bio-data page's digital copy 

Please remember that your Canadian passport must remain valid for at least 180 days after you enter Oman. Should you plan to change your passport or its expiry date is coming, firstly, renew your document and after that submit an application form for eVisa to Oman. 

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Applicants cannot be on the territory of Oman when submitting their eVisa application.
• Underage Canadians cannot apply on their own. Their parents or legal guardians should submit the eVisa applications on their behalf.
• Application for a new visa to Oman is possible only when the previous one has expired.
• eVisa to Oman does not serve as a work permit. You can make a business trip to Oman, but you are not allowed to take up employment there.
• In case of overstaying your eVisa illegally ( i.e., without a special permit), you will be fined 10 OMR for each day of your overstay.
• You can obtain an eVisa on arrival in Oman at the Muscat International Airport. However, getting an eVisa in advance will save you time and money.
