Oman authorities decided to introduce an electronic visa system in 2018. Its implementation was aimed at facilitating and speeding up the entire process of getting a visa to Oman. UAE citizens can apply online and avoid the troublesome procedures related to the traditional visa application.

As the United Arab Emirates is a GCC country, UAE residents and citizens have certain requirements to meet to be able to obtain an Oman visa online. Namely, their profession must be accepted by the Government of Oman and included on the approved occupation list.

Oman eVisa for UAE citizens is recognized on equal terms as a regular Embassy visa. Nevertheless, following the electronic Oman visa application process is much faster, easier, and cheaper. What is more, an electronic visa allows traveling to Oman without the need to bother yourself to obtain a visa upon arrival in the country.

UAE residents and citizens can make a trip to Oman with an approved eVisa for tourism or business reasons.
