Furthermore, Byevisa makes the online application process even more convenient by providing a simple online form and detailed information about everything you will need to prepare. We provide easy, clear instructions and handle every aspect of processing your application. You can get your eVisa sent to your email inbox in as little as 1 business day.

But first, Byevisa is here to help you get your authorisation so you’re ready to travel.

What Is the Difference Between an Oman e-Visa vs a Visa On Arrival (VoA)?

The Electronic Visa system was put into place to streamline the process of screening eligible visitors and granting them speedy entry into the country when they arrive.

Before the online system was put in place, when travellers arrived, they would have to stand in a long and slow-moving line to fill out all their paperwork and present their documents in person, then be issued a physical Oman Visa on Arrival. This option is no longer available, you must get your visa before you go.

Now you can get your official authorisation online, drastically reducing the time you’ll spend waiting in line at customs and immigration. This allows for stress-free travel.

Here’s some more good news: Your eVisa is valid at any point of entry, whether you’re travelling by land, air or sea.
