Frequently asked questions
Yes, but practically all international flights land at Moroni International Airport (HAH). The visa on arrival is available there. If you arrive by sea (e.g., ferry from Mayotte), you'll need to check with local immigration — the process may differ.
Typically up to 45 days. The immigration officer will stamp the duration in your passport. If you want to stay longer, you can apply for an extension at the immigration office in Moroni.
Yes, extensions are possible. Visit the Direction Générale de la Documentation Nationale (immigration office) in Moroni. The cost is around EUR 20–30, and processing takes 1–2 business days. Bring your passport, visa receipt, and a passport photo.
The visa counter does not give change. If you overpay, you won't get the difference back. Bring EUR 30 or USD 35 in exact, crisp bills. ATMs at the airport are unreliable, so have cash before you arrive.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (e.g., parts of Africa or South America), you'll need to show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Oman is not a risk country, so this doesn't apply to direct flights from Oman. But if you have a layover in a risk country, get the vaccine and carry the card.
No. Only cash is accepted — EUR or USD. No cards, no mobile payments. Have the exact amount ready before you reach the counter.
No. There's no e-visa or pre-registration system for Omani passport holders. Just show up at the airport with your documents and cash.
