Omani passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Macau in 2026 — no need to apply in advance. Just show up at the airport with a valid passport and a return ticket, and you'll be stamped in.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Macau. Macau does not enforce a 6-month validity rule beyond your departure date, but some airlines may still ask for it at check-in. | Required |
| Visa on arrival Obtain at Macau border | Omani passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Macau International Airport or land borders. Pay the fee in cash (MOP 100 for single entry, valid 30 days). Have a printed copy of your flight itinerary and hotel booking ready — officers sometimes ask. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or onward ticket to a third country. Airlines at check-in will also verify this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from a host in Macau. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. A printed copy or a screenshot on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your stay — around MOP 500 per day is a safe benchmark. Officers almost never check, but budget airlines may ask at check-in. | Recommended |
No arrival declaration needed
Omani passport holders do not need to fill out any arrival declaration form. Just walk through immigration with your passport and return ticket.
Visa is not extendable
The 30-day visa on arrival cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Macau and re-enter (e.g., a day trip to Hong Kong or mainland China).
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Macau International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' — don't go to the baggage claim area first. There are separate queues for 'Visitors' and 'Residents'. Join the 'Visitors' line.
2
Present your documents at the counter
Hand over your passport and return ticket (printed or on your phone). The officer will ask a few questions — purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Pay the visa fee (if applicable)
Visa on arrival for Omanis is free for stays up to 30 days. No payment needed at the counter.
4
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay duration. Check the stamp before walking away — confirm the dates are correct.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. No arrival declaration form is required for Omanis.
