What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport
At Muscat International Airport (or any Omani entry point), follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then to the immigration counters. There's no separate visa-on-arrival desk — you just go to the normal passport control queue.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your passport to the immigration officer. They'll scan it, check your details, and stamp you in. No forms to fill, no fees to pay.
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.
