Visa on arrival in Oman for GCC Residents of all Professions

People who live in the GCC and work in any field can now enter Oman from any border for business, tourism, or any other reason.

Local media said that residents still need visas, which they can get when they arrive at any GCC border post.

According to a circular from Oman Airports, Oman currently lets all GCC residents with a valid residence and work visa from the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar, no matter what they do for a living, into the country. But visas will be given out at the airport for a fee.

The new circular from the Directorate General of Passports and Residence about visas for residents of GCC countries says: “All residents of the GCC countries have the right to enter the Sultanate of Oman for all commercial professions; it is not required for people to come from the country of residence.” This means that a resident of any GCC country doesn’t have to come directly from that GCC country to use this service. It is allowed at any time and from any place they arrive from. The residence visa must be valid in the GCC for at least three months, and the procedures mentioned above must be followed.
