Do you need a visa to study in Oman?

For the Summer in Oman program, you will be required to purchase a tourist visa once you arrive. Upon arrival in Oman, a Tourist Visa can be purchased for 20 Rial (the local currency in Oman) and it is valid for 30 days. Please note that visa fees DO change. If you are staying for more than 30 days, you can purchase an extension of the 30 day visa for another 30 days. Make sure you have a valid passport for your travels and check to ensure it does not expire within 6 months from the time you will be overseas.

IMPORTANT: CISabroad will only advise students on visa procedures for travel requirements for your CISabroad program only. CISabroad is not responsible for advising students on visa issues if they plan to travel internationally before or after the program dates.

These instructions are intended for US passport holders. International students must also be aware of additional documentation and/or processing time needed for their visas. Please contact your Program Coordinator to discuss your visa.

Please note that all consulates have varying visa processing times and/or requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their assigned consulate’s visa processing period and to send in their complete visa application well enough in advance to allow adequate time for processing. Each consulate lists the visa processing period on their website. Required documents for your visa are always subject to change at the discretion of the consulate.
