Visa Services in Oman

Processing times vary by visa type. Employment visas typically take 2 to 4 weeks, investor visas 3 to 6 weeks, family visas 2 to 3 weeks, and tourist visas 3 to 7 days. Timelines depend on document completeness, medical examination scheduling, and authority processing speeds.

Tourist visas can be obtained without an Oman-based sponsor through approved channels. However, employment visas require an Oman employer sponsor, investor visas require an Oman-registered company, and family visas require an Oman resident sponsor. The visa category determines sponsor requirements.

Medical examinations are required for employment visas, investor visas, and family/dependent visas for extended stays. Tourist and short-term visit visas typically do not require medical examinations. Medicals must be completed at government-approved health centers in Oman.
