Pakistani UAE Residents — Oman Visa on Arrival by Air?
Hi everyone! I’ve been hearing conflicting information from different sources, so I wanted to check with people who have actually experienced this recently.
I know Pakistani nationals living in the UAE have reportedly been able to get an Oman visit visa at the land border when travelling by road. However, I’m hearing that the situation is different when travelling by air, and that Pakistani passport holders may not be eligible for visa on arrival at an Oman airport.
Is this actually true? Has anyone here recently travelled from the UAE to Oman by air on a Pakistani passport and been able to get a visa on arrival?
I also applied for an Oman eVisa last Saturday, but I still haven’t received any update. I’ve read that applications can sometimes take 2 weeks or more, while others have said applications from Pakistani nationals may simply be rejected. The profession on my EID is Program Manager.
I’m planning a trip to Salalah with my wife next week, so any recent firsthand experience would be really helpful.
