What happens at the border

Arrive at Muscat or Salalah airport
After landing, follow signs for 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. Do not join the regular passport queue — look for the dedicated visa-on-arrival counter.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (screenshot or print), and hotel booking confirmation. The officer will process your visa and collect the fee (payable in OMR or by card — have cash as backup).
3
Receive your visa sticker
The officer will stamp a visa sticker into your passport. Check that the validity dates and your name are correct before leaving the counter.
4
Proceed to passport control
With the visa in your passport, join the regular passport control queue. The officer will scan your passport and let you through. Collect your luggage and exit.
