Entry requirements

|---|---|---|
| VisaYou can enter Oman without a visa for short visits. Visa-free entry | Uruguayan citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 30 days in Oman. Entry is granted on arrival. | Not required |
| Passport validityEnsure your passport does not expire within 6 months of your arrival. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Oman. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesOman immigration will stamp your passport on arrival, so a blank page is necessary. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight booking ready in case immigration asks for it. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward ticket proving you will leave Oman before the 30-day visa-free period ends. | Required |
| Proof of fundsCarry cash or a credit card to show you can support yourself during the visit. Sufficient means of support | You should be able to demonstrate sufficient funds for your stay in Oman, though this is not always checked. | Recommended |

Passport validity is critical
Oman enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the airport — even if you have a ticket. Check your passport today.
No extension possible
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you plan to stay longer, you'll need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before your time runs out.
