Do Australia passport holders need a visa to visit OM?

Australian passport holders can enter Oman visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism. No visa or eVisa is needed for short visits, provided you meet entry conditions (confirmed hotel booking, return ticket, travel/health insurance, and sufficient funds). For stays longer than 14 days, apply for a 30-day eVisa through the Royal Oman Police before arrival. As of 2026, Australia is on Oman's primary visa-free exemption list, allowing ordinary passport holders to enter for tourism for up to 14 days without any prior visa or eVisa. This unilateral exemption was introduced under Oman's 2021 visa reforms and remains in force. The 14-day period is non-extendable. To use the visa-free channel, travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months, and immigration may ask for proof of a confirmed hotel reservation covering the stay, a return or onward ticket, valid travel/health insurance, and evidence of sufficient funds. There is no arrival fee for the 14-day exemption. Travelers planning to stay longer than 14 days, or who want a multiple-entry option, should obtain an eVisa in advance from the official Royal Oman Police portal (evisa.rop.gov.om): the 30-day single-entry eVisa costs 20 OMR and the 30-day multiple-entry eVisa 50 OMR, with processing typically within a few business days. Oman is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Because the visa-free benefit can be amended by the Omani authorities, confirm current status on the ROP or Oman Ministry of Foreign Affairs site shortly before travel.
