Here’s what you need to know for a smooth arrival in 2026.

14 days is strict — no extensions
The visa-free stay is fixed at 14 days and cannot be extended. If you plan to stay longer, you must apply for a proper visa at an Omani embassy before you travel. Overstaying even one day incurs fines.
Passport validity is critical
Oman requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. This is non-negotiable — airlines check this before you board. If your passport is close to expiry, renew it first.
