Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Slovenian passport holders get a visa on arrival at all Oman airports and land borders. The visa costs 20 OMR (about $52 USD) and is valid for 30 days. Pay in cash (OMR or USD) at the immigration counter before the passport stamp.Check eVisa portal | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your arrival date in Oman. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers ask for proof of onward travel at the counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a bank statement or at least 500 OMR ($1,300 USD) in cash or card available. Immigration rarely checks, but you may need to show you can cover your stay. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Oman. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you book flights. Airlines may also deny boarding if your passport doesn't meet this requirement.
Keep a printed copy of your return ticket
While a screenshot on your phone usually works, some immigration officers prefer a printed copy. Print it at your hotel or airport kiosk to avoid any hassle.
What happens at the border
1
Land at Muscat International Airport
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Visa on Arrival' counters. These are clearly marked and usually have short queues.
2
Fill out the visa application form
At the counter, you'll get a simple form asking for your name, passport number, flight details, and hotel address. Fill it in with a pen (bring your own just in case).
3
Pay the visa fee
The visa on arrival costs 20 OMR (about €48). Pay in cash (Omani Rial, Euros, or US Dollars) or by credit card. Keep the receipt.
4
Get your passport stamped
Hand over your passport, completed form, and payment. The officer will issue a visa sticker and stamp your entry. This takes 2–5 minutes.
5
Proceed to immigration
With the visa in your passport, join the main immigration queue. Show your passport, return ticket, and hotel booking if asked. You'll be through in under 10 minutes.

Yes, the visa on arrival is available at all international airports in Oman, including Salalah Airport. It is also available at land borders with the UAE (e.g., Hatta border) for Slovenian passport holders. The process and fee are the same.
No, there is no official requirement to show proof of funds for the visa on arrival. However, having a credit card or some cash (around €50–100 per day) is sensible in case immigration asks.
