What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Oman eVisa website (evisa.rop.gov.om). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 1-3 business days. You'll receive the approved eVisa by email.
2
Print or save your eVisa
Once approved, print a paper copy of the eVisa and save a PDF on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and at immigration in Muscat or Salalah.
3
Arrive at Muscat or Salalah airport
Most flights from Jordan land at Muscat International Airport (MCT). Follow signs to 'eVisa' or 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 2-5 minutes.

Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel. There's a customs check (green channel for nothing to declare). Then you're free to leave the airport.
