Oman Immigration Overview
All international visitors to Oman (other than Gulf Cooperation Council Nationals) require visas for the duration of their stay.
Oman is perhaps the only place in the Arabian Peninsula where modern development peacefully co-exists with ancient architecture, culture, and traditions. Sweeping highways wend their way between historic forts and carry trade between the souqs of her towns in the way camel routes did centuries ago. Beautiful hotels combine modern comfort with traditional designs, and the Omanis deliver the famed Arabian hospitality, nearly always in traditional dress, while keeping in touch on the latest mobile phones. The real appeal of Oman lies in these contrasts and the chance to experience the traditional Arabian culture which has been squeezed out of most of the rest of the region: it rewards the traveler prepared to tear themselves away from Oman’s amazing beaches!
