Greek passport holders can travel to Oman without a visa for stays of up to 14 days. This visa-free entry is straightforward, but you'll still need a valid passport and to go through standard immigration checks at the airport. If you plan to stay longer, you'll need to arrange a visa in advance.

Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Entry PermitYou can enter Oman without a visa for short stays, but your passport must meet the validity rule. Visa-free entry for Greek citizens | Greek citizens do not need a visa for tourism or business stays of up to 14 days. Entry is visa-free, but you must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival. | Not required |
| Passport validityOman requires your passport to be valid well beyond your trip, so check the expiry date early. Minimum 6 months from arrival | Your Greek passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival in Oman. Ensure your passport meets this before booking travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a clean page to stamp your passport, so make sure you have a blank one. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry stamps. It is wise to have 2 blank pages to avoid issues at immigration. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketOman wants to see that you plan to leave, so have your outbound ticket ready. Proof of departure | You must be able to show a confirmed return or onward ticket to a country you are eligible to enter. This is typically checked at check-in and may be requested by Omani immigration. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof you can support yourself financially helps avoid any questions at the border. Sufficient means of support | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. While not always requested, carrying a credit card or cash (e.g., OMR 50 per day) is prudent. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can skip any arrival form – just go through normal passport control. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Greek citizens entering Oman. You do not need to fill out any pre-arrival health or customs forms. | Not required |
| E-visa applicationFor short visits, skip the e-visa process; for longer stays, you'll need to apply in advance. Not applicable for visa-free entry | Since you are visa-free, you do not need to apply for an e-visa through the Royal Oman Police e-visa portal. However, if your stay exceeds 14 days, you must arrange a visa before travel. | Not required |
14-day limit — plan accordingly
Your visa-free stay is capped at 14 days and cannot be extended. If you're planning a longer trip, apply for a tourist visa online before you fly.
Passport validity is critical
Oman requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from arrival. Even if you're only staying a few days, a passport expiring sooner will cause problems.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Muscat International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then to 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for GCC residents and other nationalities — as a Greek passport holder, you'll use the general foreigner queue.
2
Present your passport at the immigration counter
Hand over your passport to the officer. They'll check your validity, may ask about your stay, and will stamp your passport with a 14-day entry permit. No visa fee is charged.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. That's it — you're in.

Frequently asked questions
You can stay up to 14 days. This is a visa-free entry, not a visa on arrival — it's automatic for Greek citizens. If you want to stay longer, you'll need to apply for a visa before you travel.
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you know you'll stay longer, apply for a tourist visa in advance through the Royal Oman Police e-visa portal (https://evisa.rop.gov.om/).
If you're transiting and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. If you plan to leave the airport, you'll use your visa-free entry — but remember, it's limited to 14 days.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Omani immigration. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Get your passport renewed before your trip.
No, there's no fee. It's completely free for Greek citizens. If you need a longer stay and apply for a visa online, that will have a fee — check the official e-visa site for current costs.
No, the visa-free entry is for tourism and short visits only. Working or studying requires the appropriate visa, which you must obtain before arriving.
You'll face fines and possible deportation. Overstaying is taken seriously in Oman. If you need more time, leave before the 14 days are up or apply for a proper visa in advance.
