eVisa only — no visa on arrival
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Oman. You must apply and receive approval before you fly. Don't risk being turned away at the airport.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Oman. Count from your arrival day, not your departure. If it's close, renew first.
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 details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 1-3 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get the eVisa by email. Print a paper copy and save a PDF on your phone. You'll need it at check-in and on arrival.
3
Arrive at Muscat or other Omani airport
At immigration, present your passport and printed eVisa. The officer will stamp you in. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready just in case — they rarely ask, but it's better to be prepared.
