Oman Launches 14-Day Free Tourist Visa to Boost Tourism
Oman has introduced a new 14-day free tourist visa for travelers from over 100 countries, including India, to promote tourism. Eligible visitors must have a valid passport, confirmed hotel bookings, return or onward tickets, and proof of sufficient funds. The policy aims to facilitate short-term visits and support Oman's economic diversification away from oil dependence. While the visa is free, longer stays require an e-visa application. Oman offers diverse attractions, from historic sites in Muscat to natural landscapes like deserts and wadis.
