Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for an Oman eVisa at evisa.rop.gov.om before you fly. Processing takes 1–3 business days, and the visa is linked electronically to your passport. Print the approval letter and carry it with your boarding pass — airlines check this before letting you board.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Polish passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended departure date from Oman. Immigration at Muscat Airport checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied entry. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Oman immigration requires proof of a confirmed onward or return flight. Airlines at Warsaw Chopin and other EU airports will check this before issuing a boarding pass. A printed itinerary or e-ticket works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Oman ready. Immigration officers at Muscat sometimes ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A printed booking confirmation is safest. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 500 OMR (about 1,300 USD) for your stay. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
Visa on arrival is the easiest option
Polish passport holders don't need to apply for an e-visa or visit an embassy. Just show up with the right documents and pay at the airport. It's faster and more reliable than online applications.
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers often ask to see your onward ticket. Have a screenshot saved on your phone — don't rely on finding it in your email while standing at the counter.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Muscat International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters before immigration. Polish passport holders use the general queue.
2
Fill out the visa application form
You'll get a short form at the counter. Fill in your passport details, flight info, and hotel address. Staff can help if needed.
3
Pay the visa fee
Hand over your passport and the form. Pay 20 OMR (cash or card). Keep the receipt — you'll need it later.
4
Receive your visa sticker
The officer will stamp a visa sticker into your passport. Check the validity dates before walking away. It's usually valid for 30 days from issue.
5
Proceed to immigration
Join the immigration queue. Present your passport with the visa sticker, your boarding pass, and your return ticket. You'll be asked a few questions (purpose of visit, where staying). Answer honestly.
6
