United States to Oman visa requirements

U.S. ordinary passport holders can enter Oman visa-free for tourist stays of up to 14 days. No advance application is required, but you must carry a passport valid 6+ months, a confirmed hotel booking, a return/onward ticket, health insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. For stays longer than 14 days, apply for an eVisa (single-entry 30-day, ~20 OMR) via the Royal Oman Police before travel. As of 2026, the United States is on Oman's "first list" of roughly 103 nationalities granted a 14-day visa-free (visa-exempt) entry for tourism. The exemption is conditional: travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months, and present a confirmed hotel reservation for the whole stay, a return or onward ticket departing within 14 days, valid health insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. The 14-day stay cannot be extended or converted to a residence visa. Travelers who need longer or who do not meet the conditions should obtain an Oman eVisa from the official Royal Oman Police (ROP) portal before arrival: the single-entry 30-day tourist eVisa costs about 20 OMR, a 10-day option about 5 OMR, and a one-year multiple-entry visa (30 days per visit) about 50 OMR. Note that the U.S. State Department page conservatively states a visa is required and references visa on arrival; however, Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the official experienceoman country list both confirm the US qualifies for the conditional 14-day visa-free entry. Because the visa-free channel is documented by Oman's own authorities and is the correct fit for a short tourist visit, the verdict is visa-free, with the eVisa as the recommended fallback for stays beyond 14 days or if any condition cannot be met.
