Oman updates COVID-19 protocols for travellers

Oman has begun easing its COVID-19 travel procedures for international travellers.

The decision to relax the travel requirements will pave the way for hassle-free travel and encourage international visitors to travel.

The supreme committee, in charge of dealing with the pandemic, and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced that travellers over the age of 18 traveling to the Sultanate of Oman are required to present a vaccination certificate (with a QR code) indicating that they have received at least two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. It has also cancelled the pre-registration requirement for all arrivals via the Ministry of Health online form, which was previously a requirement for non-citizen travellers. 

In addition, all passengers over the age of 18 travelling to Oman are required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival or within 24 hours after arrival, including proof of a health insurance covering COVID-19.
