It should be noted that the United Kingdom is not a visa exempt country, and as a result, all British citizens should obtain a visa to enter Oman legally.

Oman issues visas to foreign nationals depending on the purpose and nature of the traveler’s trip. Please find below the different types of visas issued by Oman to foreign nationals.

Oman tourist e-visa

Oman tourist e-visas are issued to foreign nationals who intend to visit the country exclusively for tourism-related activities.

Obtaining an e-visa is undoubtedly the easiest way to obtain a visa, as it allows a UK citizen to get an electronic travel authorization from the comfort of their home.

There is absolutely no need to visit the Oman embassy, and travelers can send all the documents to Visa Genie via mail. In order to get an Oman tourist e-visa, travelers should submit the documents mentioned below.

The applicant should send the copy of his or her United Kingdom passport. Please ensure that this passport is valid for six months, and has at least one blank page.

To obtain an Oman business e-visa, it is necessary to submit the below mentioned documents.

Oman tourist visa

Unlike tourist e-visas, regular tourist visas should be applied directly via the embassy. These visas are issued only for tourism-related activities, and using these visas, foreign nationals are not supposed to engage in any kind of activities while inside Oman. However, at this time, Visa Genie is not assisting to obtain a regular tourist visa. In order to visit Oman for tourist purposes, please apply for an e-visa, as it is easiest option for travelers.

Oman business visa

Oman regular business visas can be obtained via the embassy. Unfortunately, Visa Genie, at this time, does not assist travelers to obtain a regular business visa. To visit Oman for business activities, please apply for a business e-visa.

However, the traveler should meet the below-mentioned guidelines to stay visa free while inside Oman.

While inside the Oman airport, the foreign national should make sure that he or she is staying inside the International transit area.
