Omani Rial

The currency used in Oman is the Omani rial (OMR), which was introduced in 1970 to replace the Gulf rupee, a currency that had been in use in several Gulf countries under British influence.  

Asia

Asia is the largest and most populous continent, covering about 30% of the Earth’s land area and home to more than 4.7 billion people, roughly 60% of the global population. It is traditionally divided into several regions, each with distinct cultures, languages, and historical influences. Known for its vast diversity, Asia is home to major world economies like China, India, and Japan, as well as iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Arabian Desert, while also being a centre of innovation, rich traditions, and some of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth.

Visa Guidelines

To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Oman.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip! 

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.
