Do Omani citizens need a visa for Dubai?
Oman is a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member, so Omani citizens can enter the UAE with a valid national ID card or passport. No visa, sponsor or advance approval is needed.
If you live in Oman but hold another nationality, choose your own passport as citizenship and Oman as the country you are travelling from in the search above — you'll see the visas that apply to you.
Entry rules are based on the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa exemption list, checked on 21 October 2026. Rules can change, so confirm with ICP or your airline before you travel. MOFA list · ICP

Arriving in Dubai on an Omani passport
- Carry a valid national ID card or passport.
- Have your return or onward ticket and your hotel booking or host's address ready, as officers can ask.
- Check how many days your entry permit allows and note your last day.
- If you plan to stay longer, apply for an extension before that day to avoid overstay fines.
Paying from Oman
All our prices are in UAE dirhams (AED). If your card is in OMR, your bank converts the amount and may add a foreign transaction fee, so the final charge can be slightly different from the OMR estimates on this page.
Contacting us from Muscat
Muscat and Dubai are on the same time.
Our help desk answers on WhatsApp 24 × 7, so you can reach us at any hour in Muscat — a 9am to 6pm working day in Dubai is 9am to 6pm there.
A visa approval does not guarantee entry: the final decision is made by UAE immigration on arrival. Fees, processing times and entry rules can change — the price shown at checkout is the one that applies.
