Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Oman requires Indonesian passport holders to apply for an eVisa before arrival. Go to the Royal Oman Police eVisa portal at evisa.rop.gov.om, select the appropriate visa type (tourist, visit, etc.), and complete the online form. Processing takes 1–3 business days; print the approval letter to present at immigration.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Oman. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers in Muscat enforce it strictly. No exceptions for shorter validity. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration in Oman asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket before stamping your visa. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. This applies to all eVisa holders. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Oman immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Keep a printed copy of your booking confirmation or host's contact details handy. Not always checked, but better to have it. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, they want to see at least 50 OMR (~$130) per day of your trip. ATMs are widely available in Muscat. | Recommended |
Visa on arrival is the standard option
Indonesian passport holders don't need to apply for an e-visa in advance. Just show up at the airport with a valid passport and return ticket. The process takes about 10–15 minutes at the counter.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you won't be allowed to fly. Double-check before booking.
