Visa for Oman from Morocco: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes, a visa is needed: a Moroccan passport does not allow a tourist stay in Oman without this formality. For travellers who are not on the exemption list, Oman’s tourist visa is not issued directly: the Royal Oman Police grants it under the sponsorship of a licensed Omani tourism agency (“sponsored tourist visa”, valid for 30 days, extendable once by 30 days), according to the official “Get a sponsored tourist visa” service on gov.om, updated on 5 August 2025. The process therefore goes through a licensed tourism agency or the Embassy of Oman, before any ticket is booked.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government feeNot published in a source we can verify

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

Allow for a valid passport, the application form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and funds, and travel insurance; the agency or the embassy may require more. If the agency offers you a package, ask for a breakdown between the visa fees and the price of the tourist services. The exact amounts should be obtained from the agency or the Embassy of Oman.

Choose a licensed Omani tourism agency and specify from the outset whether it only handles the visa sponsorship or your stay as well. You can also contact the Embassy of Oman responsible for Morocco, which explains the procedure and whether an appointment is required. In all cases, the form must match the details in your passport exactly.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Morocco, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Morocco but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Timeframes depend on the agency, the Omani administration and the season: none is guaranteed. Start early, keep flexible bookings and buy your ticket once the visa is granted. Then keep the sponsoring agency’s contact details at hand throughout the stay.

Confusing the purchase of a tour with obtaining the visa is a mistake to avoid: a paid package does not guarantee that the visa will be granted. Other mistakes: tickets bought before the decision, an agency chosen without checking its licence, an incomplete file. Also take the visa’s validity and the single-extension rule into account in your plans.
