Visa-free entry confirmed
Serbian citizens get 30 days in Oman with no visa and no fee. Just show your passport.
Passport validity is critical
Oman requires 6 months of validity from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport is close to expiring, renew it first.
No extension available
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your trip to fit within the window, or you'll face fines.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Muscat International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Passport Control'. There are separate queues for GCC nationals and others — join the 'Foreigners' or 'All Passports' line.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your passport to the immigration officer. They'll scan it, check your face, and stamp you in. No forms to fill, no visa to show.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, head to baggage claim, grab your bags, and walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no restricted items.
