The process is one of the simplest in the region:
The immigration hall at Muscat Airport is modern and well-staffed. Wait times on quiet weekdays are 10–15 minutes. During busy periods (Friday afternoons, public holidays) allow 30–45 minutes.
If you are travelling from Dubai to Muscat by private car, Oman visa on arrival is also available at the Hatta land border crossing (Al Wajajah).
The process and cost are identical to the airport — OMR 5, 10–20 minutes processing. Your driver handles all vehicle documentation at both the UAE exit and Oman entry checkpoints.
If you want to stay longer than 10 days, you can extend your visa to 30 days at any Oman Royal Police immigration office in Muscat or other major cities.
Once you clear immigration, the most comfortable option for reaching your hotel is a pre-booked private transfer.
