Philippines to Oman visa requirements

As of 2026, Philippine ordinary passport holders can enter Oman visa-free for tourism for up to 14 days. The Philippines is on Oman's unconditional (Group 1) visa-exemption list, so no eVisa or visa-on-arrival is required for short visits. Oman expanded its visa-exemption program and, in late 2025/early 2026, added the Philippines to the list of nationalities that may enter without a visa. Confirmed against the Oman Ministry of Foreign Affairs official entry-visas page, the Philippines appears in the first (unconditional) group of more than 100 exempt countries. Filipino tourists may enter visa-free and stay up to 14 days. This 14-day permit cannot be extended or converted to any residence visa. The exemption is for tourism/short visits only and does not authorize work, study, or long-term residence. At the border, travelers must satisfy standard conditions: a passport valid for at least 6 months, a confirmed return/onward ticket, a confirmed hotel reservation, travel health insurance, and sufficient funds for the stay. Because the Philippines is in Group 1, no prior visa, GCC residency, or third-country visa is needed. Travelers who need a longer stay (15-30 days or more) must still apply for a tourist eVisa through the Royal Oman Police portal (evisa.rop.gov.om). Oman is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Always reconfirm status and that the airline will board you before departure, as visa policies can change.
