Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entryYou don't need to get a visa in advance for short visits, but you must meet all other entry conditions. No visa required for stays up to 14 days | Slovak citizens can enter Oman without a visa for tourism or business visits of up to 14 days. The entry permit is granted on arrival at no cost. For longer stays, you must apply for an e-visa before travel. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before you travel. At least 6 months from arrival | Your Slovak passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival in Oman. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer will stamp your passport on arrival, so a blank page is essential. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. It's wise to have more if you plan to visit other countries on the same trip. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight booking or itinerary ready to show if asked. Proof of departure from Oman | You must be able to show a confirmed return or onward ticket proving you will leave Oman before the 14-day visa-free period ends. This is checked at airline check-in and may be requested by immigration. | Required |
| Proof of accommodationIt's not always required, but having it can speed up entry and avoid questions. Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask for evidence of where you will stay in Oman, such as a hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry a credit card or some cash (Omani Rial) to show you can support yourself. For your stay | You should be able to demonstrate you have enough money to cover your expenses during your stay in Oman. This is rarely checked for short visits but can be requested. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any online health or customs declaration before you arrive. Not required | Oman does not require Slovak citizens to complete an arrival declaration form before entry. | Not required |
| E-visa application (for stays over 14 days)For short trips, skip this step. For longer visits, apply online before you fly. Only if staying longer | If you plan to stay in Oman for more than 14 days, you must apply for an e-visa in advance through the official Royal Oman Police e-visa portal. The visa-free entry does not cover longer stays. | Optional |
Passport validity is non-negotiable
Oman enforces the 6-month validity rule strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to board your flight. Check your passport now, not at the airport.
14 days is the max — no extensions
Your visa-free stay is fixed at 14 days and cannot be extended. If you need more time, you must apply for a proper visa before arrival via the official e-visa portal.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Muscat or Salalah airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Arrivals'. There are separate queues for GCC nationals and other nationalities — join the general queue.
2
Present your passport
Hand your passport to the immigration officer. They'll check your validity, look at your face, and stamp you in. No visa is issued — the stamp itself is your entry permission.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim and then customs. There's usually nothing to declare unless you're carrying restricted items.
