Oman

Indian ordinary-passport holders are not visa-free by nationality alone. MFA lists a 14-day exemption in two groups. First-group names we could read do not include India. Second group: they need a valid visa or residence for the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, a Schengen state, or Japan — or GCC residence in an eligible profession. Then: passport valid at least 6 months, return ticket, confirmed hotel, health insurance, and enough funds. Stay 14 days.

Official Gazette (2 Aug 2026): a free 14-day tourist visa for nationalities the authority designates. Holders may replace it with another tourist visa before it expires, paying the fee. The news item does not print the country list. Confirm on the MFA page and the eVisa wizard.

MFA entry visas — second group

• Passport valid at least 6 months
• Return ticket
• Confirmed hotel booking
• Health insurance
• Enough funds for the stay
• Valid visa or residence for the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, Schengen, or Japan — or GCC residence in an eligible profession

Use this when they cannot use the 14-day exemption. MFA: tourists usually take the unsponsored Tourist Visit Visa on https://evisa.rop.gov.om. Run the eligibility wizard. It shows the subtype and the fee for that nationality.

ROP tourist-visa page: stay up to one month, fee OMR 20, extendable for the same period. List-1 nationalities can get it without a local sponsor (missions, ports, or DGPR). Others need a licensed Omani tour company or hotel as sponsor, with a sponsor letter, valid commercial papers, passport copy valid 6 months, and two 4 × 6 cm photos.

Do not quote third-party 26M / 26N tables. Use the fee the official wizard prints.
