When you wish to visit Oman, you will discover that there are a variety of entry methods available for visitors. The best way for visitors is to get visa for Oman before departure. If you have Qatar Rp passport, then this article is for you as we would like to tell you about the visa system from Qatar Rp passport perspective.

Not long ago the Oman government had announced about new visa rules for different countries. Oman has been popular for offering tourist visa to Qatar Rp Holders. Oman and Qatar are small countries located at North of Middle east where lots of professionals from around the world are in business and traveling on an everyday basis. Oman offer a number of visa facilities that Qatar Rp Holders can apply easily with less formalities and fees. Qatar Rp Holders can get a vacation or visit visa that is granted without any term of period and can be extended. Their Oman Visa Online services provides them not only online assistance but also helps us in processing our visa application without any cost

For how much time you can stay in Oman? Actually the visitors who have an ordinary visa can stay only for 14 days, but those who have a resident or (professional) visa have no limitation. But remember that you should not exceed your duration of stay or stay beyond the date given to you by the immigration officers. You will not get any extension so it is suggested to take out sufficient time before your visa expires. A resident visa can be provided if you have a permanent position in a company, are working here as a civil servant or are holding a position similar to that.

Oman Visa For Qatar Rp Holders

Oman is an undiscovered gem. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of it. Let me tell you, it is a wonderful place to visit — and with all the political uncertainty surrounding the Middle East right now, it’s a great time to visit Oman.

Are you thinking of taking a trip to Oman? If treks on camels, camping in the vast desert, and driving safaris appeal to you, then Oman is the perfect holiday destination. Oman gives you a true Arabic experience with plantations of frankincense, souks (marketplaces) representing long-gone worlds, modern cities, luxury hotels, and beautiful beaches. There is something for everyone who visits Oman.

Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman, is different from its neighbouring countries because of its complex history of interaction with the rest of the world. Omani traders once ruled the Arabian, travelling out of the ports of Muscat and Salalah to establish trading relationships with the Portuguese empire in Africa by establishing trading outposts as far as Mozambique and Zanzibar. They aligned with the British after slavery was abolished. This resulted in the conservative yet open Islamic society that is modern Oman. It is considered to be the most welcoming of all Arabic countries, helping tourists feel at home.

Before you plan a trip to Oman, you should know about its visa requirements so that you are fully prepared.

APPLY FOR E-VISA

VISA DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

The visa documents required are fairly painless. You can apply on arrival (if applicable from your country) at the nearest Oman consulate or embassy, or online on the Internet using the Royal Oman Police website. The documents that you need to apply for a visa to Oman are:

• A valid debit or credit card: As everything is done online, paying with cash is not available so you will need a valid credit or debit card.
• Passport: All visa applicants must have a passport that is valid for another six months from the day of arrival in Oman.
• Passport Scan: The scanned copies of the information pages of your passport will be required.
• Photo: A digital photo taken before no more than six months is required.
• Email Address: You will get all communication about the visa through your email only, so make sure that you have a valid and correct email ID.
• Valid Visa or a Residence Permit: Certain countries need a valid visa or residence permit that has been issued by the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Australia.

An application form also needs to be filled in, and once you submit your application, your visa will arrive in a PDF format through email. You must take a printout of this email and carry it with you when you go to Oman.

TYPES OF VISA

SINGLE ENTRY VISA

The single-entry e-Visa (aka 26B Tourist Visit Visa) is valid for 30 days, starting from the date of arrival in Oman. This e-Visa must be used in the six months following its approval. In case it is not used in this period, the travel document becomes invalid.

MULTI ENTRY VISA

The multi-entry (aka 36B Visit) e-Visa is valid for one year, starting from the date of the first arrival in Oman. It allows multi-entries with a maximum of one month stay for each of them. It also has to be first used within the six months after its initial approval.

ENTRY WITH CHILDREN

Single parents or any adult travelling with a child or children may be asked to show documentary evidence of parental responsibility while entering Oman and leaving it. If children under the age of 18 are travelling alone, a consent letter is needed from one of the parents and a photocopy of the father’s passport. Children need to apply for a visa in advance.
