China to Oman visa requirements

Chinese ordinary-passport holders need a visa for Oman tourism. The standard route is the online unsponsored Tourist Visit eVisa from the Royal Oman Police portal (OMR 5 for 10 days, OMR 20 for 30 days). Oman's 14-day visa-free exemption does NOT apply to most Chinese tourists, since it requires holding a valid US/UK/Schengen/Canada/Australia/Japan visa or qualifying GCC residency. As of May 2026, a Chinese (CN) ordinary passport holder generally needs an eVisa to visit Oman for tourism. China is NOT on Oman's unconditional visa-free list. China sits in Oman's conditional 14-day visa-exemption group: a Chinese citizen can enter visa-free for up to 14 days ONLY if they already hold a valid entry visa or residence permit for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, or a Schengen country, or qualifying GCC residency, plus a confirmed hotel booking, return ticket, health insurance, and proof of funds. A Chinese tourist who does not meet that condition must obtain an unsponsored Tourist Visit eVisa in advance through the official Royal Oman Police portal (evisa.rop.gov.om). Options are a 10-day single-entry visa (OMR 5), a 30-day single-entry visa (OMR 20), or a 1-year multiple-entry visa allowing 30 days per visit (OMR 50). Processing is typically 1-3 working days. Note: the prominent 2024-2026 China-Oman visa-free news concerns Omani nationals entering CHINA visa-free, not Chinese nationals entering Oman, so it does not change the verdict for this route. Default verdict is evisa, which is the channel that applies to the typical Chinese tourist.
