Oman Visa for France Citizens 2026

Visa on Arrival

French citizens should apply for Oman's tourist e-visa online in advance via the Royal Oman Police portal before flying, though limited on-arrival issuance remains available at Muscat airport - a 10-day visa costs about OMR 5 and a 1-month visa about OMR 20.

Guide last updated September 23, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond arrival
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Confirmed hotel booking or address of stay
  • Proof of sufficient funds
  • A payment card or cash (OMR) for the visa fee
  • Travel insurance is recommended though not mandatory for the visa itself

Visa types

  • Tourist visa, single entry, 10 days - OMR 5
  • Tourist visa, single entry, 1 month - OMR 20
  • Unified GCC tourist visa - only relevant if you already hold a valid UAE or other qualifying GCC visa, not applicable to most French tourists applying fresh

Visa on arrival

  • Apply in advance online at evisa.rop.gov.om for the smoothest process - approval typically comes back within 2-4 working days and the visa is emailed as a PDF to present on arrival
  • Available ports: Muscat International Airport, Salalah Airport, and select land borders with the UAE for pre-approved e-visa holders
  • If applying without pre-approval, a limited on-arrival counter exists at Muscat airport, but pre-booking online is strongly recommended to avoid delays
  • Pay by card at the e-visa portal, or cash/card at the airport counter if issued on arrival

Fees & processing time

  • 10-day single entry: OMR 5 (about USD 13)
  • 1-month single entry: OMR 20 (about USD 52)
  • Online e-visa processing: typically 2-4 working days
  • On-arrival issuance (where available): same day, but queues can add significant time

Tips for France travelers

  • Apply online before departure rather than relying on the arrival counter, since Oman has increasingly shifted to mandatory pre-approval
  • Keep a printed and digital copy of your e-visa approval
  • Oman's e-visa is often cross-recognized with a valid UAE visa - check current rules if combining both countries in one trip
  • Dress and behavior expectations are conservative - review Oman's cultural guidelines before arrival
