What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six (6) months from the date of entry into Oman.
  • Digital photograph: Recent, color, with a white background, passport-sized (35x45mm).
  • Accommodation proof: Hotel booking confirmation for the duration of your stay.
  • Return ticket: Confirmed return or onward flight ticket.
  • Financial proof: Bank statement showing sufficient funds to cover your stay (no specific minimum amount is officially stated, but it's advisable to show enough for accommodation, living expenses, and return travel).
  • Specific Forms: No specific pre-application forms are required for the e-Visa, other than the online application itself.
  • Biometrics: Not required for e-Visa application. Biometrics may be collected upon arrival at immigration if deemed necessary by authorities.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not always explicitly mandatory for all e-Visa categories, it is highly recommended to have comprehensive travel health insurance that covers medical emergencies and repatriation.

Visa types

  • Tourist eVisa:
  • Official Name: Tourist Visa (26A)
  • Validity: 30 days from date of entry.
  • Maximum Stay: 30 days.
  • Entry: Single entry.
  • Approximate Fee: OMR 5 (approximately USD 13).

  • Note: The eVisa system is primarily for tourism and short-stay business purposes.

How to apply online

  • Complete the online application form accurately. Ensure all details match your passport.
  • Upload the required documents: digital photograph and a scanned copy of your passport's biodata page.

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist eVisa (26A - 30 days single entry): OMR 5 (approximately USD 13).
  • Tourist eVisa (26B - 1 year multiple entry, 30 days per visit): OMR 15 (approximately USD 39).

  • Total Cost Estimate: USD 13 to USD 39, depending on the chosen eVisa type.
  • Standard Processing Time: Typically 1 to 5 working days. It is advisable to apply at least 2 weeks before your intended travel date to account for any potential delays.
  • Express/Priority Option: No official express processing option is available for the standard eVisa. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • Apply in advance: It is recommended to apply for your eVisa at least two (2) weeks before your planned departure date to allow ample time for processing and to address any potential issues.
  • Ensure accuracy: Double-check all information provided in the application form. Any discrepancies between your application and your passport can lead to rejection or delays.
  • Common rejection reasons: Incomplete applications, insufficient passport validity, low-resolution or improperly formatted photos, lack of clear travel itinerary, and insufficient proof of funds are common reasons for visa rejections. Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining.
  • VFS/BLS vs. Direct Embassy Application: For eVisas, the application is exclusively through the official Royal Oman Police portal. There are no VFS/BLS or direct embassy applications for this specific eVisa type. For other visa categories not available via eVisa, you would need to consult the Omani Embassy or Consulate in a neighboring country if there is no resident embassy in Antigua and Barbuda.
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (https://www.mofa.gov.om/) before traveling.
  • Extension Options: Extensions for tourist visas are generally not permitted. If you need to stay longer than the allowed duration, you would typically need to exit Oman and re-apply for a new visa, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for re-entry. For specific circumstances, consult with the Royal Oman Police immigration department in Oman.
