South Korea to Oman visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders can enter Oman visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism, provided they meet entry conditions (valid passport, return ticket, confirmed hotel booking, health insurance, and sufficient funds). No prior visa or eVisa is required for short visits. As of mid-2026, Oman grants 14-day visa-free entry to over 100 nationalities, organised into two groups. South Korea is in Group 1, which means Korean ordinary passport holders can enter without any prior visa or registration purely on the strength of their nationality (Group 2 countries, by contrast, must additionally hold residency or a valid visa for the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Schengen, Japan, or a GCC state). The free 14-day stay applies to tourism and similar short visits and cannot be extended or converted to a residence visa. To qualify, travelers must carry a passport valid at least six months, a return/onward ticket, a confirmed hotel reservation, health insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. Immigration officers can ask to see this evidence on arrival. Oman is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. For visits longer than 14 days, Korean nationals can instead apply for a tourist eVisa via the Royal Oman Police portal (evisa.rop.gov.om) before travel; the standard short tourist eVisa is inexpensive (around OMR 5 for the 10-day single entry) and is issued electronically. The visa-free channel is the simplest and most common option for a typical short tourist trip, so the recommended route is to arrive visa-free and present the required supporting documents.
