COVID-19 : Oman open for business
All those wishing to come to Oman are welcome. However, in light of the global pandemic of COVID-19, travel to or from Oman, as with other countries, is subject to certain restrictions.
All visitors to Oman must register with the Tarrasud+ application before travelling and on arrival they must produce a negative COVID-19 PCR test conducted not more than 72 hours before.
Visitors will be required to take a further PCR test on arrival at the Sultanate’s airports, which they should book through https://covid19.emushrif.om/traveler/travel.
They must then observe a 7-day quarantine period and wear a tracking bracelet. The quarantine period will end after another negative PCR test on the eighth day, provided no COVID-19 symptoms appear during quarantine.
Health insurance covering the costs of COVID-19 treatment is compulsory (except for Omanis, GCC Citizens and those who have free health cards to use Government operated hospitals and clinics).
These measures follow current international best practice to protect citizens and travellers. They are revised regularly as the world develops a better understanding of the most effective way to combat the virus.
