Travellers bound for the Sultanate of Oman are now required to apply for an electronic visa prior to entering the country after visas on arrival were discontinued by the country in late March.
The e-visa system is in line with the Oman Tourism Strategy aimed at attracting more tourism and investment in the country.
Aussies can register for the 30-day tourist e-visa at evisa.rop.gov.om/home where they can submit their details and pay the fee of 20 Omani Rials (approximately AU$70).
A reciprocal visa arrangement with Dubai and Qatar enables Australians access to one visa free entry when stopping (not transiting) in those Arabian countries prior to entering Oman.
