What happens at the border

After deplaning, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. At Muscat International, the visa counter is just before passport control.
2
Queue at the visa on arrival counter
Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation. The officer will process payment (20 OMR) and issue a sticker.
3
Proceed to passport control
Show your passport with the new visa sticker. The officer will stamp you in. Keep the entry stamp — you'll need it when leaving.

Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, grab your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. No arrival declaration form needed.

Frequently asked questions
The standard visa on arrival for Ukrainians allows a 30-day stay. It's not extendable, so if you need longer, you'd have to leave and re-enter or apply for a different visa type before traveling.
No — only at international airports (Muscat, Salalah, and Sohar). Land borders and seaports generally do not offer visa on arrival for Ukrainians. Fly in directly.
You'll be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Omani immigration. Renew your passport before traveling — no exceptions.
No. For a tourist visa on arrival, you don't need a local sponsor. Just show your return ticket and accommodation booking.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you overstay, you'll be fined 10 OMR per day. Plan your exit date carefully.
Most counters accept credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and Omani Rial cash. US dollars or euros are not accepted. Have 20 OMR in cash as a backup.
Not officially required for the visa on arrival, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Oman are high — a simple hospital visit can run hundreds of dollars.
