Moroccan passport holders need an eVisa to enter Oman. The process is entirely online — you apply before you travel, and approval usually takes a few business days. As of 2026, this is the only way to get a visa for tourism or short visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Oman eVisa | Apply online at the Royal Oman Police eVisa portal before you fly. The eVisa costs around 20 OMR (~$52 USD) and is usually processed within 24–72 hours. Print the approval and carry it with your passport — immigration at Muscat will scan the barcode.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you land in Oman. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Oman | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return flight. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they may check it before stamping your entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Oman. Immigration rarely asks for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. Officers rarely request it, but it is better to have it ready. | Recommended |
Apply early — don't wait until the last minute
eVisa processing can take up to 5 business days. If you apply too close to your departure, you risk not getting approval in time. Apply at least a week before your flight.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, hotel booking, and return ticket on your phone. Screenshots work fine. You may be asked to show them at check-in and immigration.
