Oman to grant visa on arrival to Indian travellers, but there is a twist

Now Indian travellers can get Oman visa on arrival after the nation relaxed rules for Indians. Oman visa for Indians (tourist visa) will be granted to those who either reside or hold an entry visa to the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, or any of the Schengen nations.
According to reports, Oman Tourism has sent an email to travel agents mentioning, “Oman visa on arrival can also be availed by the spouse (husband/wife) and children of the visa holder of any of these six mentioned c ountries as long as they are accompanying him/her, even if they do not hold a visa from these countries.”


The visa will be provided to the visitors on arrival for a fee of 20 Omani Rial, and it would be valid for a month. The tourists who are expecting visa on arrival would however be required to hold passports that are valid for not less than six months. Also, they must have confirmed ticket, and hotel accommodation.
The United Arab Emirates has also started granting Indian nationals visa on arrival, but only those who have a valid US visa.

The Oman visa on arrival will open up numerous opportunities for Indian travellers, both leisure and business. At the same time, Oman tourism could benefit from Indian travellers coming into the nation.
